DFL Working Cat Program
Mary has been adopting pets from the Dumb Friends League for more than 20 years and had recently learned about the Working Cat Program, so she contacted the League and worked with an adoptions counselor to nd the perfect barn cat. She wanted a cat who would act as a protector and companion for both Norman and Roy.
Not long before Mary contacted the League, a young stray cat arrived along with her litter of kittens. Margie was friendly but quickly became overstimulated when pet and handled, swatting at hands while using her claws. Considering her behavior in the shelter and her history as a stray, the behavior team determined Margie was a good candidate for the Working Cat program.
Since she had the perfect mix of street smarts and a friendly personality, Margie was paired up with Mary.
Norman, Roy and Margie
Margie quickly settled into her new life as a barn cat. As a former mama cat, Margie’s motherly instincts kicked in for both Norman and Roy—always ready to protect them when predators are nearby and gently groom and care for them.
Mary says that Margie is friendly with people but hasn’t lost her wild side, “she’s almost like a guard dog for Norman and Roy!” According to Mary, she also has no interest in leaving the barn because she always wants to be near her two buddies.
So, as you can see, there are working cats for all reasons—even companionship! If you are in the market for a working cat, click here to learn more about the program. Working cat adoptions include spay/neuter surgery, microchip ID, age-appropriate vaccinations and rabies vaccinations. Adoption fees on barn cats are always waived.
