Barn Cat Program

Barn cats represent a portion of the feline population that thrive in free-range, independent environments such as farms, shops and acreages.

Our barn cats have no set adoption fee, and come spayed/neutered and vaccinated. We ask that adopters guarantee the cat(s) will have access to a secure, heated shelter, and will be provided with food, water and any necessary veterinary care.

As these cats are generally feral or semi-feral, we recommend they be confined in their shelter for 4 weeks with food and water provided. This provides them with a sense of safety, and encourages their return once set free to roam.

If you are interested in our barn cat program, please email us at furgetmenotyeg@gmail.com.

Be sure to include the desired number of cats, why you're interested in a barn cat, and a description of your property

to help us select the best cat(s) for you.

Each year, the Animal Care & Control Centre (ACCC) accepts more than 600 cats into the facility that are classified as feral. As adults, feral cats cannot be rehabilitated into adoptable lap cats because they have not been socialized to humans and show signs of aggression. Sometimes these cats can be transferred to a rescue agency or ‘given a job’ through one of our feral cat re-homing programs such as the Barn Buddy Program. Another option is the Public Trap Neuter Return (PTNR) program.

Participants in the PTNR program bring a feral cat(s) into ACCC to be spayed/neutered and to receive vaccinations. Participants then return the cat(s) where they were found and monitor their health conditions. It is not recommended that participants house or feed feral cats since they will be returned to the community where they were

The benefit to the community is positive because these cats have been spayed/neutered and the likelihood of new cats moving into the area is reduced. Over time, their population numbers will
