Working Cat Listings
|
DO YOU LIVE IN NOVA SCOTIA? DO YOU HAVE A FARM OR A WAREHOUSE OR A BUSINESS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE WAY TO CONTROL RATS AND VERMIN, MAYBE ITS TIME TO THINK ABOUT ADOPTING A WORKING CAT. |
| WHAT IS A WORKING CAT? THEY ARE STERILIZED AND VACCINATED FERAL AND / OR STRAY CATS. THINK OF THEM AS ORGANIC PEST CONTROL OFFICERS. |
| WHY DO THEY NEED
NEW HOMES? DOESN'T THE R IN TNR STAND FOR RETURN?
SHOULDN'T THESE CATS BE RETURNED TO THEIR ORIGINAL LOCATION?
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. HOWEVER IN SOME INSTANCES THE ORIGINAL CAREGIVER HAS PASSED AWAY OR IS NO LONGER ABLE TO CARE FOR THE COLONY . |
| HOW DO I ADOPT ANY OF THE CATS
LISTED HERE? PLEASE CONTACT THE EMAIL OR PHONE NUMBER WITH EACH LISTING. THE NS HOMELESS PET PROJECT IS AN INFORMATION RESOURCE AND DOES NOT ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN THE ADOPTIONS. |
| IF THE CATS ARE
NEUTERED OR SPAYED WILL THEY STILL BE GOOD HUNTERS?
STERILIZED CATS STILL HUNT .... BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE ALTERED THEY DO NOT WANDER, FIGHT AND OF COURSE THEY DO NOT REPRODUCE.
|
| HOW DO I SUBMIT A LISTING FOR
WORKING CATS? CONTACT YOUR LOCAL TNR GROUP, SPCA BRANCH, RESCUE GROUP, ANIMAL CONTROL OR VET CLINIC FOR A REFERRAL. |
| WEBMASTER NOTE: TNR WORKS BECAUSE THE CATS ARE RETURNED TO THEIR ORIGINAL LOCATION AFTER BEING VACCINATED AND STERILIZED. THE WORKING CAT LISTINGS ARE FOR CATS AND/OR COLONIES THAT BECOME HOMELESS WHEN THEIR CAREGIVERS ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO PROVIDE DAILY CARE FOR THE CATS ..... FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN THE CAREGIVER PASSES AWAY AND THEIR FARM OR HOME IS BEING SOLD. |
this situation
is a family that has lost the fight to keep their old farm type
homestead, of course cats were dumped there but not reported and breeding
occurred. There are indoor and outdoor cats who need to find homes asap. I am
working with local spca who have taken some already but foster homes are few and
far between
For more information, contact Darlene Millett
