About Smokey Barn Cat

Meet Smokey, your potential new barn cat! This medium-sized male is not just a cat; he’s a ready-made mouser, perfect for keeping your property pest-free. Smokey thrives outdoors, as he isn’t suited for life inside a home. He’s part of High Country Humane's Barn Cat Program, which focuses on giving special outdoor cats the chance to live their best lives in secure structures like barns or warehouses. Adopters should be prepared for some unique steps to help Smokey adjust. It's advisable to confine him for three to four weeks in a safe space without outside access. This helps him settle in and get acclimated before he starts patrolling your grounds. Remember, he’ll need a carrier for his trip home. Having a buddy would make Smokey’s transition even smoother, so consider adopting another barn cat. This way, they can support each other in their new environment. Smokey is already spayed and vaccinated, ready to start his adventure. If you're looking for an independent creature to keep your property secure, Smokey might be just the right fit.
