Barn Buddy cats have their left ear “tipped” for easy identification. ALL cats are spayed/neutered, test negative for FIV/Felv, are treated for parasites and given rabies and distemper vaccinations.
Through shelter application process, all cats chosen for the program will be moderately socialized to people yet would not be happy living inside a house. Up to this point they have been living outside. They will keep watch over your barn, your warehouse, your business, where ever they’re needed and they work for room and board.”
Animal Alliance CMC (AACMC) supports the Cape May County Animal Shelter’s efforts to reduce the number of cats euthanized at the Shelter. “If the cats are healthy and have been altered, it is certainly a more humane goal to try to find them homes in a setting such as this.
Most of the cats at the Shelter arrive through Animal Control. While some of these cats are friendly and can easily make a transition to becoming house pets, others are less socialized. These are the cats we’re trying to save. Although they may not want to sit on your lap, they deserve to live out their lives, and can make excellent mousers.”
If you can not adopt a Barn Buddy, but you still would like to help this campaign, you can sponsor one by making a donation to cover the cost of surgery and vaccinations. For more information or if you are interested in adopting or sponsoring a Barn Buddy cat, contact the Shelter at 465-8923, or the Animal Alliance of Cape May County at 465-NEUT.
