Barn Buddies are cats that may not be very social, but still depend on assistance from humans.

Barn Buddies are the working class in the cat world. Barn Buddy cats can help control rodent populations and, since cats are territorial, will deter other stray cats from taking up residence on their property.

If you can provide food and shelter in a barn, shed, or warehouse, you are eligible to adopt a Barn Buddy.

Typically, Barn Buddies take about 3 weeks to adapt to their new homes.

• For the first week keep the cat contained indoors (barn, shed, warehouse, etc.).

• After a week, continue to feed indoors but allow the cat to venture and explore outside.

• By the third week, allow the cat to roam freely and continue to feed in the desired shelter for the cat.

Your new Barn Buddy will get to work patrolling your property in no time.
