Barn Cats Looking for Homes!


Barn cats are semi-feral cats who thrive in outdoor environments such as barns, sheds, garages, farms, and horse stables. Just like working dogs, some cats love having a job and being outdoors! They provide natural rodent and pest control while enjoying the freedom of open spaces.


Each barn cat in our program has been assessed by our team and determined to be better suited for outdoor living rather than an indoor family setting. Some are friendly and socialized, while others are more independent and untamed—but all of them deserve a safe place to call home.


By adopting a barn cat, you’re giving a cat a second chance and helping keep your property pest-free the natural way.


📞 Please call us for more details.


Barn cats are housed in foster homes and are not available for meet-and-greets at PetSmart. Availability may vary, but if you’re interested, we’d be happy to add you to our waiting list.


You agree to:

  • Read this handout on Barn Cat Relocation
  • You must provide shelter with inside and outdoor access for various climate changes in Michigan
  • Provide food and water daily (this means every day!) even though they hunt, you must provide food and water
  • These cats provide companionship for horses and other farm animals
  • All barn cats come spayed/neutered with current Rabies vaccination
  • As the owner of the cat, you must agree to not let them suffer and provide adequate medical care should something happen and they get hurt in a fight, hit by a car, get sick, etc.
  • It is recommended to keep them inside a large crate for 3 weeks to acclimate them to their new surroundings, other animals in the barn, sounds, and smells, and for feeding purposes. This will help the cat adjust and understand their new home and where the food is located.
  • While there is no fee, we appreciate a donation to cover medical costs, if possible.


Here's a story about an outdoor kitty who is now famous for his presence in the shop he lived in. You never know, maybe the barn cat you adopt will be famous too!
