Got Rats in Your Back Yard Chicken Farm or Warehouse? Get Barn Cats!! Phoenix AZ

If you are a back yard chicken farmer or warehouse owner in the Portland metro area or in a rural area beyond the city we can provide you with cats in urgent need of homes. These cats are shy so you may not see them very often, but they will patrol day and night to give you safe, natural, organic rodent control. They can live in a barn, shed, garage, basement or warehouse equipped with a cat door. All of our cats are healthy, spayed/neutered and vaccinated. They are free of charge, and depending on your location, we may be able to arrange delivery. These cats are hard workers, as described here: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/14/realestate/feral-cats-working-cat.html https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-feral-cats-rats-abatement-met-20160407-story.html In addition to saving these cats' lives, our broader goal is to humanely prevent free-roaming cats from breeding, which is a major source of homeless kittens and adult cats winding up in shelters. Adopting cats as rat catchers will allow you to stop using poisons that can sicken kids, pets, livestock and wildlife.

On large rural properties with barns and/or multiple outbuildings, we recommend that you adopt three or four cats to ensure effective rodent control. In rural areas, cats in groups can alert each other to dangers from approaching predators such as coyotes or free-roaming dogs. Urban and suburban garage homes are ideal for one or two cats. In exchange for these cats we ask that you: 1. Provide an ongoing source of dry food and water. It is not true that cats must be hungry in order to hunt. In fact, chronically hungry cats can't hunt very well, and they may leave your property in search of an adequate food source elsewhere if you don't give them enough food to keep them healthy and happy. 2. Provide secure, dry shelter that is inaccessible to predators such as coyotes and loose dogs. Examples of suitable shelter include a dog house or some other kind of box with warm bedding placed placed up off the ground in a barn, shed or garage. 3. Provide warm bedding so your cats can stay comfortable and healthy in cold weather. 4. Keep your outdoor cats in a secure, temporary holding facility (e.g., a closed barn, tack room, shed, garage, crawl space, etc.) for three weeks while they acclimate to their new home. You will need to place a litter box, food and water bowls, and warm bedding inside the acclimation facility. After the acclimation period the litter box will no longer be needed. 5. Promise that you will not use rodent poisons as long as you have barn cats. If a cat (including your pet cats), eats a rodent that has been poisoned, he or she can die a rapid and very painful death. Other farm animals and even small children can also be at risk. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, OR WOULD LIKE TO ADOPT 2 OR 3 OF THESE CATS (or, if you have a large property, all six), please email a response to this Craigslist post, or call or text show contact info .
