Shelbyville, IN
A Shelby County organization focused specifically on unsocialised and feral cats, pulling them from the county shelter and placing healthy, sterilised, vaccinated cats into outdoor working homes such as barns, stables and warehouses where they control rodents. It is an all-volunteer, grassroots group working to raise the live-release rate at Shelby County's municipal shelters through trap-neuter-return, spay/neuter promotion and adoption of tameable kittens and friendly adults from managed feral colonies.

Do you have any barn kittens? The youngest cats in the Barn Cat Program are approximately six months old. AOSC will not adopt younger kittens as barn cats, as they don’t yet have the knowledge, size, or skills to remain safe outdoors. Most cats in the barn program are young adults between one and five years of age, though we do have younger and older cats available occasionally. If you have an age preference, just let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you!
This organization places working cats into outdoor homes rather than running conventional indoor adoptions. See shelbycats.com/working-cats for how the programme works.
