Austin Pets Alive's Barn Placement Program!
When Austin Pets Alive! rescues abused or poorly socialized kitties from the shelter, sometimes we have to consider a non-traditional home placement. APA! believes these kitties don’t deserve to die simply because they can’t go into a home environment.
Just by looking at these cats, you’d never know they were feral or under-socialized, but we recognize that they deserve shelter, access to food and water and the stimulation of “critter hunting” that a barn placement provides.
Just like all APA! cats, Barn Placements are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, given preventatives for fleas/parasites, and tested for FIV/FeLV. As you can imagine, sometimes just performing standard medical exams on these cats can be tricky. They are scared, probably have never been touched by a human before and want nothing more than to run into a small hiding spot and hunker down for the long-haul.
To help us continue to expand this program, assist with medical exams, and ultimately the barn placement process itself, we are in need of some basic “Cat Wrangling” supplies.
