About DosAdoption fee sponsored

Dos is not your typical cuddle buddy, but he’s the cat you need to help manage vermin at your barn, factory, or garage. This working cat is great for controlling the rodent population while providing him with a suitable outdoor home, as he hasn't been socialized with people. NoVa Cats Advocacy has sponsored his adoption fee at the Clarke County Humane Foundation and will offer transport within an hour of Berryville, VA. Dos requires a fresh supply of water, food, and warm shelter daily, along with a minimum 30-day acclimation period in a crate in his new environment. These measures help him adjust to his new space. Rest assured, all working cats, including Dos, are spayed or neutered, microchipped, ear-tipped, and up to date on vaccinations. If you're interested in a dedicated mouse hunter, please ask a staff member to meet him. Ready to give Dos a chance at a new life as a working cat? Click apply to start the adoption process.
