Opal & Onyx were trapped along with their two kittens at an industrial park in Hagerstown, MD. The young kittens did well in foster care and have been adopted. Opal & Onyx were around 8 months old when caught, and we presume they were wild-born because although they have calmed down considerably, they have minimal interest in humans (except at meal time!) Our original plan for Opal & Onyx was to return them to the site since the employees were feeding and sheltering them and wanted to keep them as shop cats. However, it was not possible to return them because of the company's use of rat poison. For these reasons, we now seek permanent barn placement for Opal & Onyx. Opal and Onyx are extremely sweet with each other and seek each other out when separated. Although they received only minimal human interaction prior to being trapped, both Opal and Onyx can now be handled, although their interest in humans is primarily limited to our utility as can openers and bowl-fillers! However, they continue to relax around their care-givers more and more each day and we expect them to be very present barn cats. Opal & Onyx are spayed/neutered, negative for FIV and FeLV, microchipped, ear-tipped, up to date on rabies and distemper vaccinations, dewormed, and current on flea preventative (Revolution Plus). This beautiful pair of barn panthers are formidable mousers and would make ideal working cats for a farm, riding stable, winery or almost any agri-business that requires rodent control. If you have room in your heart and barn for this very deserving sweet bonded pair please do not hesitate to reach out to us at 301-788-1574! Community Kitties has successfully relocated numerous barn cats and we will assist adopters with relocation and longer term colony maintenance.
