A Working Cat is a cat who is not a good fit for a traditional home, often due to limited socialization, but who thrives in an outdoor or semi-outdoor working space using its natural hunting instincts.
Property owners with rodent problems - including farms, warehouses, retail shops, and wineries - who can offer shelter, food, water, and care in exchange for natural pest control.
All Working Cats are spayed or neutered and vaccinated for rabies and distemper before being matched with a location. There is no adoption fee, though donations to the program are welcome.
