Bryan County Barn Cat Program
The purpose of the Bryan County Barn Cat Program is to find homes for cats and kittens that are difficult to place as indoor pets. These are typically stray cats that are either feral, semi-feral, or loosely owned and have had limited (if any) contact with humans.
Through the program, stray/outdoor, adult cats are relocated from unsafe environments to agricultural properties (or warehouses, workshops, etc.) where they will be cared for. These hard working, pest reducing cats naturally help control the rodent population while they enjoy the freedom of outdoor sheltered life with as little or as much human contact as they desire. They love their job and they’ll learn to love you, but on their own terms.
Prior to adoption, all potential barn cats are:
- Spayed/neutered (altered)
- Vaccinated for rabies
- Ear tipped (the universal sign for an altered feral cat)
Adopting a Barn Cat
While the adoption process may be different for our barn cats, we still work hard to find the best possible homes for them. We ask that before you decide to bring a cat home, make certain you are able to care for them by providing the following:
- Fresh food and water, daily
- Shelter from outdoor elements
- A safe place to hide from predators
- Confined space for the initial two-three-week acclimation period
- Pets and kind words when/if they desire it
