Jumanji is looking for his own wild kingdom to rule! He will be your champion in the struggle with rodents. Jumanji would love to bring home companions to add to his royal court of mousers, especially his favorite knight, Nascar.
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!
