Though she be but little, she is fierce! Tang is one of our smallest working cats, but don't count her out--she would make a great addition to your property's pest defense squad! Tang is a team player who gets along very well with her current roommates, Mitochondria and Noob. Consider adopting all three for the dream team of pest control!
Our working cats are looking to provide poison-free pest control in exchange for food and shelter. These professionals are not adoptable as indoor pets, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve a second chance. As experts in their field, their ideal workplaces include barns, breweries, wineries, garden centers, farms, food pantries, and warehouses. All cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. You can hire working cats on a walk-in basis at 14 Forever Friend Lane from 10:00-4:00, Tuesday-Saturday!
