Whether you call them working cats or barn cats, when adopters come to the Dumb Friends League looking for one, they have a speci c role they’re hoping these feline employees will ll. Most people adopt a working cat to help them with things like pest control in a stable or barn, or to keep feral cats away from their properties. But not Mary, when she started looking for a working cat it was for an entirely different and, we think, quite sweet reason.
Mary, Norman and Roy
When Norman The Donkey’s best friend, a horse named Brookie, passed away, Mary knew she needed to nd a companion for him. Not sure if she wanted the expense and time required for another equine, Mary’s veterinarian suggested a barn cat may be just the company that Norman needed. The veterinarian’s of ce just so happened to have a cat named Roy who would t the bill, so naturally, Mary took Roy home.
Norman and Roy became fast friends, but Mary quickly learned that her new barn cat lacked necessary “street smarts”, or maybe we should say “barn smarts”. She was hoping Roy would act as a protector for her gentle, sweet donkey, but the cat wasn’t great about alerting to potential threats or predators.
