Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Mrs. Garret is a part of our Hardworking Cats program. This program is generally for cats that would not be suited for traditional adoption, but that would thrive as barn cats, warehouse mousers, or indoor/outdoor companions. Hardworking cats often enjoy a level freedom and independence that other cats may not require but can bring the benefit of chemical free pest control and successfully deter other unwanted animal guests from your property. Mrs. Garret came to Michigan Humane as a stray, feral cat. This means that she did not get the individualized socialization she needed as a kitten and as a result, is now a timid, fearful, and unsocial cat. Mrs. Garret is not an outgoing gal, rather she is an independent girl that keeps to herself. She likes to hide and keep from sight but will come out at nighttime to feed, explore, and socialize with other cats. Mrs. Garret unfortunately was not able to be safely returned to her original environment and is now looking for a new farm or barn to call her new home. Due to her lack of socialization and timid nature, we believe that Mrs. Garret would be best suited as a barn cat. If Mrs. Garret is going to live in a barn, it is important that she be slowly introduced to the environment and contained for 1-2 weeks while adjusting as she may flee from her new home if allowed to roam free too quickly. It is also important that even though she will be an outdoor barn cat, her adopter will still need to provide food, water, and necessary vet care.
