About Knight Rider

Knight Rider has all the makings of a classic working barn cat: long-haired, striking, and keeps mostly to himself. He doesn’t crave human attention or cuddles but finds comfort sitting by another unfriendly feline, Espresso. If you have a barn or outbuilding and want reliable rodent control, Knight Rider and his companion could be the perfect duo. They reward a responsible owner with their presence, so long as their basics—food, water, shelter—are reliably provided. He’ll need time to settle into his new environment. For best results, begin by keeping him confined with food, water, and a litter box for a week or two, then gradually introduce him to the barn or outdoor area. Be sure your property allows cats and you’re set up with the basics before bringing Knight Rider home. Ready to take in a pair who’ll keep to themselves but do their job? Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
