Connor can be described as a Friendly Farmhand: This cat is often very social, but high energy and prey drive may prove challenging for a typical home environment. These cats are easily frustrated if not allowed the freedom and stimulation of the outdoors. This kitty will cheerfully lend a hand, and because he’s tireless, often works overtime due to his over-achieving ways! Friendly Farmhands typically came from a home where they were allowed indoor/outdoor or were outdoor-only cats. They are not interested in being confined in a home.
Our Working/Barn Cat Program is designed to find feral and community cats safe outdoor homes in barns, warehouses, farms, and other safe locations for cats that are not candidates for our traditional adoption programs. These are not necessarily lap cats.
Why Adopt a Working Cat?
Working Cats benefit their caretakers! Supporting a Working Cat is the safest way to control the rodent population in your barn, warehouse, or other storage areas. There are no poisons for children and pets to get into and no need to set nasty traps! Working Cats will help keep rodents away AND you’ll have the satisfaction of giving them a much-needed home.

--------------------------------------
How do I adopt a pet?
Once you visit the shelter and select your pet, you will be asked to complete an adoption application. The application will include information about how you plan to care for your new friend, where he or she will live, what your expectations of the pet's behavior may be and whether pets already in your home are legally licensed.
If you do not own your home, we will need to contact the legal property owner to verify that you may have the pet you are interested in.
Certain animals will have specific adoption requirements in addition to the general requirements. These can include a fence check, no small kids, etc.
If your application is approved, you will be asked to complete several other forms including an adoption contract. This process takes approximately 30 minutes.
The pet you select will remain at the shelter for transport to the veterinarian for its spay/neuter surgery.
