Cora is a beautiful 6 year old lady. Her favorite place to be is in someone’s lap. Cora constantly gives the staff and volunteers the puppy eyes asking to be petted every minute of the day. Being the cuddle bug that she is, she much prefers to be with her favorite people over being alone. Cora does love the companionship of another dog, as long as they are calm and can respect her boundaries. She is on a weight loss journey, and may need a little bit of help getting the proper exercise so she can be her best self. Cora is a fan favorite with staff and volunteers, and we cannot wait for her to find her forever home!

City Cats seeking Country Life

  Got Mice? We can Help!

Our Barn Cat Program is designed

to match highly trained mousers

with welcoming barns, shops, or other

safe environments. Qualifying barn

cats are altered, vaccinated, and micro-

chipped, and they prefer living and

working outdoors to living an

inside life.

Farm Life is the Life for Me!

If you have a barn, stable, warehouse, shop, nursery, etc. then you can help save a cat!

While the majority of cats can easily live as indoor house pets, sometimes we have cats who prefer to live as a working cat.  Cats in our Working Cat Program, also known as our Barn Cat Program, fall into one of these categories:

• Under-socialized cats who prefer the company of other cats/animals over people.

• Feisty cats who are on a mission to hunt and when kept as indoor cats tend to bite or scratch.

• Cats whose litter box habits make them unable to live in the house successfully.

• Cats who were outdoor cats prior to surrender and cannot acclimate to an indoor home.

Please note that we do not adopt indoor house cats who are suitable to being household companions into barns, warehouses, etc.

Adopting a working cat can help you control a rodent population while providing companionship for your barn animals.

What we provide
When you adopt a cat through our Working Cat Program, the cat will be:

• Spayed or neutered

• Up-to-date on vaccinations and testing for common feline diseases

• Micro-chipped (a form of permanent identification)

We will review guidelines to help you acclimate your cat to your environment in a safe manner.

What you provide

• Shelter in a warehouse, barn, outbuilding, or stable, away from high traffic streets

• Daily food and water

• Long-term veterinary care, as needed

• A secure dedicated space to allow for the cat’s acclimation to its new environment.  This can be a tack room or an indoor enclosure that they cannot escape from.  In some cases we may be able to lend you a crate or cage for the introductory period.

Things to consider
Adopting a cat through FCAS can help save the life of a cat who may not have other options.  However, the care of a working cat is still an important responsibility.  You will be assuming care for the cat for its lifetime, which may be as much as 15 or 20 years.   In exchange for providing the essentials of food & water, medical care, and shelter, your working cat will earn its keep by helping to control the rodent population in your building.
