CHS BARN CATS

The Calgary Humane Society recognizes that not all cats are suitable for a home environment and will, under special circumstances, adopt cats to individuals wishing to provide these special cats with an opportunity to live in a rural, farm or shop type setting.

Fee: $30

Adopter Requirements:

• Cats adopted to live in a rural, barn or shop type setting must have access to food, shelter, water, regular vet care, love and attention.
• Barns or warehouses must be heated or well insulated and these cats must not be expected to fend for themselves.  We recommend that 2 cats are adopted together so they have a companion in the outdoor environment
• The adopter will be the registered owner and must take full responsibility for the cat(s).  If the adopter leaves the place where the cat(s) is living, he/she must make arrangements for the cat(s).  Suitable arrangements include taking the cat with him/her or finding another caregiver to accept responsibility for the ongoing care and welfare of the cat(s) and transfer ownership
• In the case of a business, Calgary Humane Society will ensure the landlord of the premise as well as the Manager of the business agrees of the plan to have cat(s) on the premise.
