Barn Cats
Do you know anyone that might need a natural, chemical-free method of controlling rodents?
Consider barn cats!
Forgotten Felines often has situations requiring the relocation of outdoor cats, both feral and friendly. For a small, tax-deductible donation we can provide one or more cats to act as natural rodent control for your vineyard, farm, ranch, or dairy. These cats would be spayed or neutered and vaccinated prior to placement. We would supply the temporary housing necessary to acclimate the cats to their new home, and provide you with all the information you would need to continue caring for these intrepid hunters! Often, this is the only option available for these cats, and you will also be helping us save lives.
Got Grapes?? Our barn cats are working diligently and effectively as part of vineyard teams around the county. They're helping local sustainability efforts by working at rodent control. Read the article about them here.
For more information regarding our Relocation Program, please contact Stephanie at (707) 576-7999, ffsteph@sonic.net

Barn Cats waiting for homes:
We have more barn cats than shown here. These are the photos we have at the moment!
Chester
CHESTER is a feral boy, 5-7 years old. He's a beautiful chubby orange tabby with a stubby tail. He is FIV positive but is currently in excellent health. He gets along great with other cats, or could be placed alone.
 
The Ferally Odd Sisters
Big Yummy -- bigger tabby girl
Zolataya ("golden child" in Russian") -- thinner tabby girl
Sylvie -- lynx point siamese
Born in Spring 2003
FELV and FIV negative
Have not been vaccinated in years but have had re-tests on their FELV and FIV and are still negative
They love other cats -- especially boy cats
They grew up with a gentle guide dog but I don't think they'd be OK with a dog that chased them or showed aggression
The three sisters are extremely bonded and must stay together
Zolataya is pettable and close to tame
Sylvie can occasionally be petted
Big Yummy will come very close but will need to trust someone for a quick pet. She does, however, purr when she sees you.
They lived in a house (and went outdoors) for their first 5 years and slept on beds and furniture
They no longer have a house but sleep in heated beds in a garage; they spend most of their time outdoors
They are excellent gopher hunters and mousers, especially Zolataya.
Zolataya and Sylvie steal Big Yummy's food and she defers to them. I try to feed her a few feet away from them. Big Yummy's gone thorough periods of losing weight but bloodwork has always been perfect. It's likely that those were periods where I wasn't able to monitor the food stealers! [Note: Dr. Lisa Pesch has been able to net Big Yummy for bloodwork; otherwise it's been about 3 years since they were last trapped
They are absolutely darling and Big Yummy is particularly special; she'll steal your heart. Sylvie has an annoying meow, but she can't be blamed for that. Zolayata actively seeks out affection and pets. Zolataya's not crazy about being picked up but will let you if you're gentle. She's the only one who will stay still for Advantage or Frontline applications.
They've never stopped wanting to live in a house and have made it clear that they'd be very happy living indoors part-time
They EAT A LOT. A can of Friskies (or 2 cans Fancy Feast) shared in a.m.; Same in afternoon feed (around 3:30-4pm); and then get a nighttime "snack" of another Friskies can (or a bit less) or 2 cans Fancy Feast. They eat Blue Adult dry food. They know their names and will come when called.
Relinquishing owner will supply heated beds and one month's worth of food. She is heartbroken to have to re-home them, especially Big Yummy.
