Working Cats

Working cats, also referred to as “barn” or “business” cats, are cats that will more than likely not be successful in a home environment due to being not accustomed to direct human interaction as a result of under-socialization. These cats are able to co-exist happily with humans if given a “job” like pest control.

We encourage those who have working cats to have at least two cats so they can provide each other companionship and warmth during colder months, which is important for the cats’ long-term health and happiness. They will be more likely to stay in their new location and survive if they have a companion.
