On occasion, Five Acres receives cats that do not desire an indoor lifestyle. We call these cats \u201cBarn Buddies\u201d and look to place them with adopters that can support their needs.<\/p>

Barn Buddy cats are usually outdoor-living, independent cats. They rely on their caretaker to have a suitable outdoor structure for them (shed, barn, farm, outbuilding, etc.) as well as provide them with daily food, water and basic veterinary care.<\/p>

Barn Buddy cats are spayed\/neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and ready to help maintain a rodent-free environment for you. We generally aim to adopt them out in pairs or groups, so they have company.<\/p>

It is important to note that adopting a Barn Buddy is still a responsibility, and the adopter will be providing necessary care to this cat throughout their life. In return, you are providing a home to a cat in need!<\/p>

Do you have a home that may be a good fit for a Barn Buddy?\u00a0Fill out our Barn Buddies adoption form<\/a>\u00a0and a member of our team will contact you to tell you about cats that are currently seeking adoption through this program.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
