Barn Cat Adoption Program

SCTNR’s Barn Cat Adoption Program seeks adopters for cats who may not be comfortable living in a traditional home setting, but would thrive in an outdoor environment where they can “work” by providing pest control to homeowners, landowners, warehouses or businesses. Barn cats, or working cats, are looking for homes where they are provided with shelter, have access to food and water and will have space to hunt for critters.

Barn cats are healthy, have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated for Rabies and have their ear’s tipped.

What is a barn cat?

A barn cat may come from a place where there was an uncertain outcome for their future. Barn cats are cats that are not suitable for indoor homes or are unable to return to their original habitat.
