Barn Buddies
A truly organic form of pest control
From time to time, the HBSPCA receives cats that are not appropriate for adoption into a home environment for numerous re
asons:
- Their litter box habits are subpar
- They are feral or undersocialized and prefer little or no contact with humans
- They are too independent and adventurous to appreciate an indoor cat's lifestyle
No matter the reason, at the HBSPCA, we believe these animals deserve a happy life too and a family who will love and care for them.
Through the Barn Buddies program, we are able to place these cats into secure outdoor locations such as barns, warehouses and other buildings where they will get the care they deserve and provide benefits to the property owner such as rodent control!
About the cats:
- Prior to adoption, the cats will be spayed/neutered, examined by a veterinarian, Rabies-vaccinated, micro-chipped, dewormed and treated for ear-mites and fleas
What the adopter provides:
- A warm, dry secure building for the cat(s) to live in
- Constant supply of food and fresh water
- Provide regular veterinary care and vaccinations
- Confinement training for first 3-4 week following adoption
- Adopters take full responsibility for the cats for their lifetime, including finding suitable arrangements for the cats should the adopter decide to move
How the program works:
- Complete the Barn Buddies Adoption Application and return it to the HBSPCA via email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. , fax: 905-574-9087 or regular mail: 245 Dartnall Road Hamilton, ON L8W 3V9
- The price to adopt through the Barn Buddies program is $35.00
- Once your application has been processed, we will call to schedule a tour of your property to ensure it is an appropriate setting for our animals
- When we have an appropriate cat in the shelter, we will contact you. Due to limited space in the shelter, we ask that you pick up your new barn cat within 72 hours.
