**I'm available for adoption as a Working Cat!**
· Intake Reason: Surrendered-too many
· Socialization: Feral
· WCHS recommends I am an: Outdoor Cat
Gus has been feeling pretty fearful and defensive since arriving at WCHS, but his previous family says there's a sweet guy beneath the nerves. They described him as affectionate, playful, and happiest when curled up next to his people. Gus can get a little carried away during playtime and may give some enthusiastic play bites, but with patience and time to settle in, he may show you his softer side.
Working cats are the unsung heroes of the outdoor community. These outdoor-savvy cats thrive in environments where they can put their natural instincts to work. They excel at pest and disease control, helping keep rodents at bay, and they often form bonds with the people and animals who share their space.
Adopting a working cat is simple and incredibly rewarding. Caretakers must provide the essentials-shelter, food, and water-and have a small temporary space, such as a large wire dog crate, to quarantine the cat for three weeks after adoption. This settling in period helps the cat learn that your property is home.
All working cats come already spayed/neutered and vaccinated, and adoption fees are "name your own price." If you're looking for a natural pest control partner who brings a little extra life, your property, a working cat might be the perfect fit.
