Barn Cat Adoption Program
How it Works
- Decide on what cats you want (minimum of 2 Barn Cats makes the transition easier), some Barn Cats are adoptable pairs-brothers & sisters.
- Fill out an Adoption Application, submit request below for Application.
- Have a Barn Inspection.
- Agree to Guidelines (2 week Acclimation Process).
Two Week Acclimation Process
- We bring out 2 Cat Condos, 2 Barn Cats, and set up in your barn.
- You supply bedding, litter, litter box, food & water.
- Barn Cats are kept in Condos for 2 weeks, this helps the Barn Cats bond with the new caretaker and become familiar with their new surroundings.
- After 2 week confinement period, Barn Cats will need a Tack Room to be released into or a safe place for them to spend the night away from predators.
Barn Cats in our Program
- All Barn Cats have been Spayed/Neutered.
- All Barn Cats are Up To Date on Vaccines & Rabies shots.
- All Barn Cats have been tested for FIV (Feline Immune Deficiency Virus) & Feline Leukemia.
- All Barn Cats are current of Flea Protection.
Barn Cat Socialization
- We require you take at least 2 Barn Cats, or more if desired.
- Barn Cats are happiest in a Colony with the company of other cats.
- We will let you know if some of the Barn Cats can be handled.
- Some Barn Cats will over time accept human attention.
What your new Barn Cats will need
- Barn Cats need a safe, permanent outdoor home with areas of weather-proof shelter and clean Food & Water.
- Even though they will keep your property free of mice and snakes they still require clean Food & Water.
- Most Barn Cats are timid and fearful of people.
- Call a Veterinarian if your Barn Cat becomes sick or injured.
What we Provide
- Our Barn Cats will be delivered to their new home by a volunteer.
- We provide a large Cat Condo for the first 2 weeks in their new location.
- The Cat Condo allows the Barn Cats to acclimate to their new surroundings without fear of running away.
What we ask of you
- When adopting two or more of our Barn Cats, we ask that you agree to provide the following:
- A commitment to provide your new Barn Cats a permanent-forever home.
- A secure place to keep them for the first 2 weeks.
- Safe-warm shelter in the barn, free of predators and bad weather.
- Daily clean Food & Water
- Long term Veterinary care if necessary.
Safe Relocation Tips
- Make sure the confinement area is located near a place where the cats can hide when released from the Cat Condo.
- Make sure the cats have a small box to hide in, one easy to get in and out of.
- If the cat runs away try setting food and water out and sprinkle some of their used litter around the barn. Sometimes they hide for a few days after release.
- Always leave them plenty of food and water so they don’t have to leave in search of food and water.
- Make contact with them daily. Talk to them in a calm voice, play music for them. Usually those that actually make the effort to communicate with the Barn Cats will have better success in the relocation process.
- During COLD weather the confinement crates or cat house may need to be covered with extra blankets if possible.
- New Barn Cats can be introduced into an already existing Cat Colony in your barn. Confine the new cats in a safe crate or Condo in the area where the existing Colony eats and sleeps
