and rub cat's throat vigorously.

Once upon a time a scared
little kitty with crooked back
legs came to the
shelter..............very, very
scared and walking with a limp
she found a little gray friend to
reassure her and clean her up
and then after some quiet time
-----take a nap and rest.   How
wonderful it would be if these
two friends could go home
together.

We know that not every cat is a house cat
and sometimes an out building or barn is
what is needed for a cat that can just not
tolerate people or BE inside a house.
IF you possibly could help us we are
looking to place cats sometimes in a nice
warm barn.......Please read more below.....
Feral Cats are wild animals that have not been socialized and
want nothing to do with humans.  They appreciate a warm place to
sleep and a steady supply of food and water– but you will
probably never handle a true feral cat in it’s lifetime.

Semi– Feral Cats are not as frightened of humans, but still keep
contact to a minimum.  These cats may have had limited
socialization with people and prefer the company of other cats.  
They frequently learn over time to appreciate your company.

Non-Feral Barn Cats are cats that though socialized and nice,
there may not be an appropriate indoor home for them.  They may
have issues with their litter box, or may be too rough for a
regular home placement, but they do accept the presence of
people.

If you have a barn, outbuilding or stable, we may have the perfect
feline match for you!  Barn placement can often be the last option
for cats who cannot live as house pets for many different
reasons.  If you can provide them with a safe and comfortable
place to live, food, water, and veterinary care, they will return the
favor by keeping the rodent population down and potentially
preventing unwanted and not spayed/neutered cats move in.

Adopting more than one barn cat is also a great idea.  They
provide each other companionship and can snuggle when it gets
cold out!


We do not get a lot of request for this but right now we are trying
to help our friends at PETS that need some warm homes.   If you
think you might be able to help - call Connie or Amy at 754-2228.
