Animal Alliance of Cape May County Endorses Barn Buddy Program 

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.  

Cape May - Animal Alliance of Cape May County is pleased to announce their support of the “Barn Buddy” program.  The aim of the program is to locate people who have a little bit of room in their barn or on their property and a lot of compassion in their heart.  

With cooler fall weather upon us, are pesky rodents showing up in your greenhouses, warehouses, commercial garages or barns?  Want a form of non-toxic pest control? Adopt a couple of our Barn Buddies and your problems will be a thing of the past

Cats in the Barn Buddy program are spayed or neutered, receive rabies and distemper vaccines, Feline Leukemia and FIV tested and ear-tipped for easy identification.  (Eartipping is a painless procedure in which a small notch is cut into the ear). The AACMC will absorb all fees associated with the cats in exchange for an agreement to continue long term care, feeding and shelter for the cat.

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.


The Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center Shelter is located at 110 Shelter Road, Cape May Court House, Exit 11 of the Garden State Parkway. The Shelter is open daily, except legal holidays.
