About Lia

Lia is a senior Domestic Short Hair feline seeking a unique home through our Barn Cat Program. She's ready to join a property with resident working cats or be adopted alongside one of our barn pals. Lia thrives in an outdoor setting where she can have space and purpose, helping to manage rodent populations while enjoying her natural instincts. While Lia navigates her new surroundings, she will benefit from a secure acclimation period of 2 to 4 weeks in a crate, which we provide. This period allows her to adjust safely before being released into her new home. Barn cats like her need daily food, fresh water, shelter, and regular veterinary care, all provided by their caretakers. Adopting Lia is a rewarding experience at just $20, which covers her spay, microchip, and vaccinations. If Lia sounds like the right fit for you, visit our Adoption Center or reach out via email to learn more about our Barn Cat Program and how you can welcome her into your life.
