About Groucho

Groucho is a working cat, selected through our Working Cat Program due to his independent nature. He prefers minimal handling and isn’t likely to exhibit the traditional friendly demeanor that many seek in feline companions. His role is more about pest control than social interaction. Groucho is already neutered, up to date on rabies and distemper vaccinations, and has a microchip for identification. There is no adoption fee, but adopters are responsible for providing food, water, medical care, and a safe space for him. If considering a working cat, keep in mind that these cats thrive in environments where they can have a job to do. To start the adoption process, please submit an online application for approval. Once approved, the Adoption Team will reach out to arrange an adoption appointment. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
