Truly feral cats—those born in the wild who have had no human interaction—live happier lives in an outdoor environment where they have access to food, water and shelter—such as a stable, storage shed, shop or barn. Even wineries are ideal locations for our rescues.
How do you benefit from participating in this program? You get a full-time feline to guard your structures from rodents who, as you know, will chew through anything to get to grain, oats–any kind of feed. They will also gnaw through electrical wire, leather and insulation.
We ask that you acclimate your new family members by housing them in a large cage (that you can borrow from us), secure room, or secure outbuilding with food, water and litter for a period of 4-5 weeks, so they can become familiar with their new surroundings. They need to bond with their new environment–and you—so they feel safe and know they will be cared for. As a participant in Barn Livin’ Program, you will continue to provide food, water and shelter for the cats once their confinement period is over.
