The average euthanization rate in local agencies/shelters is 100% for a cat that is deemed "feral" or "non-adoptable". There are several reasons that a free roaming cat cat, whether it be a stray or abandoned house cat, does not do well in a shelter environment. Fear is the primary reason a cat reacts in a way that is perceived as negative. Running to the back of a cage, hissing, trying to get away, these are all quick ways to get a "feral" label in a shelter environment.Cat Haven Ranch
Our mission is simple, take these poor forgotten ones, and bring them to a place that will let them be who they really are. We provide a free roaming sanctuary, and do not pressure these cats into a situation where fear dominates them. Its amazing to watch a once "feral" cat become a loving and playful outdoor cat. 80% of the cats that we intake into our sanctuary that were said to be "unadoptable" or "wild" live long, healthy lives here, and never have a problem. 20% of the cats that we get who are truly feral, usually don't come from a shelter or agency, rather an individual or business who has trapped a cat from a field.

Additional adoption info
We typically charge $40 for a kitten adoption, and our Barn Cat adoption program does not charge anything for those adoptions.
We do have a requirement for both our Barn Cat and Kitten adoption program, and that is a references. We will contact your landlord if you are in a rental situation. It you want to participate in our Barn Cat program, we will come and do a home visit prior to approving the adoption.
For either our Kitten or Barn Cat adoption program, we do have a requirement that if, for any reason, the adoption does not work out, the cat/kitten will be returned to Cat Haven Ranch.
