Some cats that arrive at the sanctuary remain with us as long-term residents. This is because they may not be your typical house cat – they may be very bashful, distrustful of humans, or feral. And that’s okay! Pet Patrol is an entirely no-kill rescue, so we’re determined to keep cats of all kinds safely in our care.
The cats listed below are looking for a family with the time and patience to open themselves up to love. While they do contentedly cohabitate with humans, these kitties still aren’t quite confident enough to engage with us on their own. But the right person willing to invite them into the safety of their home could make all the difference.
These cats would be quite content living at a farm, hobby farm, horse stable, or other semi-indoor location that provides food, clean water, proper shelter, and love on a daily basis. Hobby Farm Cats make wonderful helpers because they safely rid farms of rodents that can harbor parasites that infect other animals. Hantavirus, for example, can be present in deer or mice droppings and is life-threatening to humans. Rodents also cause damage to grain storage and feed.
All of Pet Patrol’s Hobby Farm Cat candidates are spayed or neutered, have their full vaccinations, and are cleared of any parasites. They are healthy and well cared for here, but would thrive in the farm environment. They may never have the opportunity to be handled by people and would prefer that we humans stay at arms length, but they trust us for food, shelter, safety, and a kind word.
If you can provide a safe and healthy rural property Pet Patrol’s Hobby Farm Cats, please email askus@petpatrol.ca or call 519-669-1979. No adoption fee applies.
Feral cats often lead tragic lives that end prematurely due to starvation, exposure to harsh weather, or the danger of hungry predators. And because they are wild, they usually cannot become typical house cats. That’s where we step in. If a feral cat comes into our care, we’ll house them at the sanctuary just like we would any other – even if it means they’ll be permanent additions to the sanctuary’s feline community. Below are our permanent pals that friends of Pet Patrol can sponsor monetarily to ensure they continue to live a life of luxury.
