Adoption Information
Make pet adoption your first option!

 

We have friendly and feral cats available for adoption to lifelong homes. We adopt friendly cats to loving indoor-only homes, and the feral cats to outdoor rural homes that provide adequate shelter, in addition to food, water and care. All cats, friendly and feral, are delivered to their new home to ensure they are going to a good home.

Outdoor Feral Cat Adoptions

Visit our Feral Cat Care page to learn about providing an outdoor home for feral cats.

Feral Cat Adoption fees: $10 per cat

Why would you want an outdoor cat?

1. Cats make great mousers. 
2. They are nature's organic pest control.
3. They are fun to have around.
4. They will fill a need and prevent unowned cats from coming to your property.
5. You can be part of the solution!

We are always in need of rural outdoor homes for our feral and semi-feral cats and only ask for $10 per cat! This is an amazing bargain for a healthy, sterilized and vaccinated cat. Although we value feral cats just as much as friendly cats we ask less for them because we recognize that it is possible that these cats will leave their new rural home. We also appreciate the great financial strain on farmers. Our number one priority is that our cats go to good homes where they will be well cared for.

The outdoor home must provide food, water and shelter sufficient for Wisconsin winters. The cats must be confined for three weeks so that they become acclimated to their new home. In return, the caretakers receive excellent organic rodent control and the satisfaction of knowing they gave a cat another chance at life. We are eager to work with rural property owners willing to provide a permanent, caring, outdoor home for these animals.

Adopters are required to complete an adoption contract when the cats are delivered. If you are interested providing a home for a needy cat please email dianeiverson@juno.com or call 608-242-0462. Feral Adoption Relocation Guidelines
