My name is Zane!

Meet Zane, a sweet but shy boy looking for a patient, loving family to help him come out of his shell. While he may seem a little shut down at first, with time and gentle care, Zane has the potential to blossom into a loving companion. He`s searching for a quiet home where he can feel safe and supported as he builds his confidence. Zane came from a house with free access to the outdoors.
Living indoors with humans isn`t an ideal situation for every cat. Barn cats, often referred to as working cats, are not suitable candidates for adoption as typical house cats. During their early life stages, these cats lacked sufficient exposure to humans, leading to under socialization and a fear of people. While some hardworking cats may eventually warm up to human interaction, others may prefer minimal or no contact with humans at all.
Adopting a Hardworking cat not only contributes to saving lives in your community but also fosters a mutually beneficial partnership between you and your cat. Potential benefits of adopting a hardworking cat include companionship, a natural and non-toxic rodent deterrent, and a low-maintenance opportunity to make a life-saving impact. Hardworking cats will need a permanent building or structure where your hardworking cat can seek safety from predators, vehicles, and inclement weather. This could include a barn, stable or warehouse, outbuilding, factory, plant nursery, or brewery. Confine your hardworking cat in a cat condo/large dog kennel for a recommended three to four-week acclimation period. Provide ongoing shelter in an accessible and permanent building after the acclimation period. Supply food and fresh water close to the same time every day, establishing a predictable schedule to teach your barn cat that you are a regular food source. Commit to routine and emergency medical care as needed throughout the hardworking cat`s life.
Please speak to an adoption counsler with any questions regarding hardworking cats and the ideal situatuon for Zane.
