My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Bucko's adoption fee has been generously sponsored - take him home for no fee today!**

Meet Bucko — Your New Barn side Buddy!

Bucko is a handsome 10-year-old gentleman who has spent his whole life doing what he loves most: patrolling the great outdoors, soaking up sunshine, and keeping barns mouse-free. He’s a seasoned working cat who takes his job seriously—this boy lives for the thrill of the hunt and the freedom of open space.

Bucko isn’t looking for a couch or a city apartment; his heart belongs in a barn, stable, farm, or quiet rural property where he can roam safely and independently. He’s low-maintenance, outdoor-savvy, and happiest when he has room to explore.

While he may not be a snuggly lap cat, Bucko appreciates a caring human who will provide shelter, food, and a safe place to rest between his daily adventures. In return, he’ll offer you excellent pest control, calm companionship, and the satisfaction of giving a senior working cat the lifestyle he truly loves. “Bucko is FIV+, but he’s healthy, resilient, and perfectly capable of enjoying his outdoor working-cat lifestyle.

If you have a barn or property in need of a wise, capable mouse-master, Bucko is ready to clock in!“. Give this noble outdoorsman the freedom-filled home he deserves—Bucko can’t wait to meet you!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We ask potential adopters to fill out a matchmaker form. When they are ready to adopt an animal and the form and interview process indicates a good match, we have the adopter sign an adoption contract promising that the animal will receive good physical and emotional care. Fees vary and we often have adoption specials. Fees for senior pets are sponsored. Otherwise, dogs are $100, puppies $150 and up, cats are $75, kittens are $95.
