Barn Cat Program
"Go Green" with a Green-Eyed Rodent Raider!
FieldHaven Barn Cat Program
- Barn cats are our specialty.
- Partner with FieldHaven to save our environment.
- Control rodents the safe and natural way - no pesticides or traps.
- All barn cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and given a general health exam.
- Save a Life - Give an otherwise "unadoptable" cat a second chance on life.
What is a Barn Cat?
- An under socialized cat that is considered "unadoptable" as an inside only, companion cat.
- Tame - Abandoned domestic cat that prefers to live outdoors.
- Semi-tame - Strays that allow limited human contact on their own terms.
- Feral - Cats born in the wild that prefer little to no human contact.
- If surrendered to a shelter, these cats would be euthanized.
How the program works.
- Fill out and submit a Barn Cat Application.
- A volunteer will contact you to go over the application and explain the program.
- You must be able to provide a safe environment with shelter, food, and water.
- Once approved, you will be notified and your application will be placed on file at the shelter.
- The Barn Cat Coordinator will work with the shelter to determine availability of cats that meet your requirements and would thrive in your environment.
- When a match is made, you will be notified and arrangements will be made for you to pick up the cat or have a FieldHaven representative deliver the cat to your location.
- Once home, you will need to "imprint" the cat(s) for 3-4 weeks before releasing them.
- If we don't currently have a good match for you at the time of your application, we will place your application in an "approved and waiting" status and contact you when one becomes available.
How can FieldHaven help?
- We'll loan you the equipment for imprinting as needed.
- We'll provide follow-on advice and help through our Community/Cat Assistance Team (CAT).
- All barn cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and given a general health exam.
- If you have existing unaltered barn cats, don't wait until you're overrun! Our volunteer Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) Team can assist you with trapping, altering, and maintaining the colony you have, as well as providing financial assistance through our Spay/Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP).
