HSoP Barn Buddy Program
Available Barn Cats:
-
HSoP does not currently have any barn cats available for adoption at this time. Call us at (208)883-1166 to get put on our wait list for future kitties!
Barn cats help to earn their keep by:
-
Controlling the rodent population
-
Reducing your need to use mouse traps or poisons
-
Saving you money on feed grain spoilage or loss
Requirements:
-
We do not place cats that are best suited to be house pets and we don’t place kittens under age four months as barn cats, unless they are feral/semi-feral.
-
A secure, dry barn or building for shelter with heat source is required.
-
As a non-profit organization, we appreciate a donation to cover the cost of the spay or neuter surgery, vaccinations, Felv test, de-worming and other needed preventative care. We ask for a $25.00 donation.
-
The commitment and ability to keep the cats confined to a stall, small room, or crate for two to four weeks (depends on the cats and the barn) to acclimate them to their new environment before release.
-
A constant supply of dry food and fresh water.
-
The willingness to trap the cats to provide licensed veterinary care in the event of a severe injury or illness.
