Story
Protect your barn and outbuildings with natural pest control! Occasionally we have groups of two or three "teenage" siblings who may be too difficult to tame for regular homes, Some would likely tame up with time and patience, but with so many already-tame cats looking for homes, the best place for our teenage cats is on a farm. We also have adult semi-feral/feral cats pulled from local animal control facilities who were scheduled for euthanasia. They will require about 2-4 weeks of confinement in a stall or tack room so that they learn the sights and smells and sounds of their new home, and so they learn that they will be fed. We will provide a large dog pen, litter, litter box and food if needed. We require that the barn owner continue to provide daily food and fresh water once the cats are free - they will not stay and provide mousing services if they are not fed! They also will need 24-hour access to safe and dry barns or outbuildings for shelter. All cats looking for jobs as mousers will be spayed/neutered and vaccinated against rabies and distemper.

Story
Cash is very food motivated and very attached to his canned food, so he really needs someone willing to pamper him a bit. He'll nibble at dry food if that's all there is, but he goes wild over his canned Friskies and Fancy Feast. He loves to lounge in his cat tree in front of the sunny window, and really is a good boy. He can nip sometimes when very excited, which is why he probably is not the best for a home with young children. Cash is 3-4 years old, has been neutered, microchipped, is current on vaccines and flea & worm prevention, and had a negative combo test. Contact us at feralcatcaregivers@yahoo.com

Story
Buster is a big teddy bear! Vocal and loving, he has been on the streets a while so takes a moment to trust a new person, but once he trusts you he is all over you. The vet loved him and said he stayed calm even when they shaved around his wounds to clean them. He must have an indoor-only home so that he doesn't try to return to the busy parking deck he was living in (he actually enjoyed it because he flirted with people and begged for food and attention, so he would try to go back, but he was dangerously dodging cars). He seemed to be friends with some cats and fought with others, so if he goes to a home with other cats they should not be aggressive or territorial. He is current on vaccines, flea and worm prevention, had a negative combo test, and is neutered. He's a young adult about 4 years old. He has a condition called granuloma that means he always has small wounds that don't heal well, but Convenia injections every several months have lessened the severity. Can someone give this love bug a forever home? No set adoption fee but a donation helps us help more cats like Buster. Adopter must have a cat carrier for safe transport.

Story
This beautiful girl is a sweet delight! She was on the streets for a while, and now seems so happy for a lap and a sunny spot in front of a window and to be an indoor kitty! Super soft fur, and made biscuits the whole time the vet was poking and prodding and updating her booster vaccines. The vet estimated her to be about 4 years old, and she has been spayed, is current on vaccines and flea/worm prevention, is microchipped, and had a negative combo test. She would be fine with other cats with proper introduction, and has gotten along great with the cats she has met in her foster home. It has not been easy to get good photos of her because she won't sit still! She is always happily head-butting something. Some call her coat color calico, others tortoiseshell tuxedo! (That noise in the video is rain.) Looking for an indoor-only home, and we require the adopter have a cat carrier for safe transport. We do not have a set adoption fee - our adoptions are not free but we let the adopter choose the fee amount.
