My name is Silverado!

Silverado is a part of our Hardworking Cats program. This program is generally for cats that would not be suited for traditional adoption, but that would thrive as barn cats, warehouse mousers, or indoor/outdoor companions. Hardworking cats often enjoy a level freedom and independence that other cats may not require but can bring the benefit of chemical free pest control and successfully deter other unwanted animal guests from your property.
Silverado came to Michigan Humane as a stray, feral cat. This means that he did not get the individualized socialization he needed as a kitten and as a result, is now a timid, fearful, and unsocial cat. Ronan is not an outgoing guy, rather he is an independent fella that keeps to himself. He likes to hide and keep from sight but will come out at nighttime to feed, explore, and socialize with other cats. Ronan unfortunately was not able to be safely returned to his original environment and is now looking for a new farm or barn to call his new home.
Due to his lack of socialization and timid nature, we believe that Silverado would be best suited as a barn cat. If Ronan is going to live in a barn, it is important that he be slowly introduced to the environment and contained for 1-2 weeks while adjusting as he may flee from his new home if allowed to roam free too quickly. It is also important that even though he will be an outdoor barn cat, his adopter will still need to provide food, water, and necessary vet care. Ronan is a calm, laid back guy that generally minds his own business and keeps to himself, but does come around when he knows it's time to eat!
