Sable is an independent cat who's still figuring out how much she wants to trust humans. She's a bit shy around people and tends to keep her distance. She watches the world with sharp eyes from a safe perch, always aware, always thoughtful.
Because of her semi-feral nature, Sable may never be a cuddly lap cat-but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a place where she can shine. She would likely do very well as a barn cat or outdoor working cat, where she can roam freely, keep pests in check, and enjoy the safety of shelter and regular meals without too much human interaction.
Sable would thrive in a calm environment where she's allowed to be herself. All she asks is a little patience, a safe space, and someone who respects her boundaries. In return, she'll be a quiet, loyal presence-and a natural mouser who brings her own kind of companionship.
WHAT IS A BARN BUDDY?
The PEI Humane Society "Barn Buddy" program provides cats previously considered unadoptable, due to being feral and/or under socialized, the opportunity to live in select gardens, barns or nurseries. A Barn Buddy isn't suited for indoor living. We do not adopt cats who are suitable to be house pets through this program. Only cats without other options are eligible to be in the Barn Buddies program.
If you have a working farming operation or safe, heated outbuilding, there are cats that want you to put them to work. These working whiskers are natural mousers and will help keep down the rodent population. The cats will be helping you and you will be helping them by providing them with a safe place to live. All they ask for in return is shelter, food, water and care! Best of all, when you give our cats a job, you're saving the lives of homeless pets that otherwise would not have been suitable for adoption. Their adoption fee is $45 and come spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
We ask that you provide:
- Shelter in safe and heated barns, shops, warehouses or other suitable buildings
- Daily food and water - cats cannot live on mousing alone!
- Bedding
- Litter box and litter
