This cat is part of our Working Cat Program! This program is for cats that are not well suited for an indoor-only type lifestyle but would thrive in environments with more space, a job, and/or less pressure from humans and other pets.

This cat originally came to us from the outdoors so we don’t know a lot about his past. While they are used to people being in somewhat close proximity to feed and care for them, these are not currently social cats but would make great ‘behind the scenes’ working cats! Interested adopters must have a safe, secure structure or barn for a working cat and be able to provide adequate time for acclimation.

If you are interested, please give us a call today!

If you would like to learn more about the Working Cat Program, or would like to fill out an application, please visit: www.mspca.org/barncat

Spirit cats are very shy with people, and live in your home but are rarely seen – hence their name. They are cats who coexist in your home, and sometimes may grant you the opportunity to touch them – or they may not. Despite being shy with people, spirit cats are usually great with other cats! They are used to living with many cats, and can make excellent companions for cats in your home. It’s not uncommon for a spirit cat to get used to one or two people over time, and those people will be allowed to touch them and they may even choose to hang out near you or sleep on your bed at night. They are a great choice for people with a quiet household, who want to make a difference for an individual cat. Patience and understanding are the best tools when welcoming a spirit cat into your home. It’s important to know that spirit cats won’t magically turn into a normal acting cat – what you see is what you get for a long time, maybe always.

They are a fine choice for situations where you don’t have a lot of time to devote to a pet as they don’t require a lot of attention from humans. They are not a good choice for a busy home, including those with small children.

** Please note that this cat is waiting for their spay/neuter surgery and may not be able to go home same day! **

Meet Happy, a sweet senior fella looking for his new home. His previous owner passed away so we have limited information on him. Here at the shelter he has been slow to warm up but after a few chin scritches, he will melt into the palm of your hand! Happy would likely do best in a quiet, low-traffic home where he can live out the rest of his golden years in peace. He has been previously declawed in his front paws, so he should be an indoor-only kitty.

If you think this cat could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm – no appointment or application needed.

I have the potential to be an easy-going, gentle cat once I warm up to my people. I will need a VERY patient cat-savvy adopter who can read cat-body language and give me time to blossom into my true personality.

I should start in a large crate at first, then graduate to a small room and then gradually be given more access to the house as I start to get comfortable in my surroundings. My adopter needs to understand that it is unknown how long it will take me to adapt (possibly weeks to months) and I might never become a super social cat, but more of a roommate.

I will need a low-traffic, quiet home. See notes below about having a cat friend. I would be ideal for a gentle, quiet adopter looking to help out a cat, but one that has low expectations for who that cat is and what might become.

Compatibility:
Dogs: No history – possibly with a mellow, cat-savvy dog
Cats: YES! Ideally I should go to a home with a confident feline friend that I can bond with and help to show me the ropes. I am most likely going to be a `cat`s cat` vs a `people`s cat`
Kids: Older – quiet, cat-savvy

Handouts that will be provided:
Preparing Your Home for a New Cat, Cat Body Language, Body Language of Feline Anxiety, Litter box Mastery, Litter box Reintroduction

I will need a VERY patient, cat-savvy adopter who can read my body language and give me time to blossom into my true personality. Expectations should be set that it is unknown how long it will take for me to adapt (possibly weeks to months) and I might never become super social, but more of a roommate. I will be ideal for a gentle, quiet adopter looking to help out a cat, but one who has low expectations for who I am, and what I might become. It is not known what I will be like in a home environment.

I came from an overcrowded home with lots of other cats. I have been using my litter box consistently here at the shelter, but my adopter needs to provide me with a slow litter box introduction since it is unclear what my litter box habits were in my previous home.

It is recommended that I be set up in my own space (an extra bedroom or bathroom) a space that people or pets will not use unless going in to clean or feed. This will allow for protected contact along with providing a safe space for me. I should be left alone initially as I adjust. This space should include plenty of hiding places, ideally with access to a vertical surface such as a cat tree or a cat-proofed shelf. I can gradually be given more access to the home when I am confidently moving about my environment with relaxed body language when my adopter visits me in my room.

In my previous home there were multiple cats, but we do not know how we interacted with one another. I should not be introduced to existing pets in my new home until I have had a chance to adjust to my new environment on my own.

Compatibility:
Cats: YES!!! It would be best to go to a home with a confident feline friend that I can bond with and who can show me the ropes. I am most likely going to be a `cat`s cat` versus a `people`s cat`.
Dogs: No history possibly if mellow and cat-savvy
Kids: Older, quiet, cat-savvy

The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

Milo is a sweet, affectionate boy. He’s lived with kids and a dog before, and got along well with everyone. He’s a bit nervous in new situations, and shy around strangers, so you probably won’t see his true self when you meet him. But, give him a little time, and he’ll warm right up! Milo was very playful and outgoing in his previous home, but was a master of making his own fun when he was left to his own devices. We think Milo would do best in a home where he has lots to do to keep him busy during the day!
