Give a Cat a Purpose. Gain a Pest Solution.
Do you have a barn, farm, warehouse, brewery, garden center, or other place of work where you need safe, effective pest control?
Consider a working cat.
What Is a Working Cat?
Working cats (also known as barn cats) are independent cats who thrive in outdoor or semi-outdoor environments. They serve as natural pest deterrents for businesses and properties where traditional rodent control methods may not be ideal.
Some working cats are friendly and enjoy occasional human interaction, while others prefer to keep their distance. What they all share is a strong instinct to hunt and a desire for a safe place to call home.
These cats are not suited for traditional indoor homes—but they can live happy, fulfilling lives while providing an invaluable service to the people who give them a chance.
