This sweet baby is one of a group that was rescued from The Franklin County Pound to
go on a transport to Last Chance Rescue in Maryland. LCR has a weight
requirement and because they exceeded the minimum weight they were returned
to us. They are friendly and fun and will be spayed or neutered before
leaving for their forever homes. We are asking for a small adoption fee to
cover some of their vetting. You can fill out one or more 'pet cat' adoption
applications and submit them online. You can see the rest of
the group

to see another group of kittens needing forever homes. They were originally
destined for a local no-kill shelter, but that fell through. They are
now being fostered, but the gentle person who is watching over them would
definitely like to place them with loving families as soon as possible.
Once again, we are asking for a small adoption fee to cover some of their
vet expenses. You can fill out one or more 'pet cat' adoption
applications and submit them online.

This kitten is part of a group that was abandoned last Fall and a Good Samaritan
has been feeding them since that time. She has begun the process of having
them spayed and neutered, however some kittens have been born in the interim.
One or more barns are needed to help them 'work' in exchange for room & board.
To meet the rest of this fortunate group, go to our "Animals
For Adoption" page.
Barn Cat Buddies has been helping barns and plant nurseries GO GREEN since 2007 by encouraging these facilities to adopt RODENT CONTROL TECHNICIANS.
If you own a barn, warehouse, or plant nursery and can offer safe haven to a pair of under-socialized and sometimes 'friendly' felines, please CLICK HERE to request additional information, or call 540-344-8707 ext. 3 and leave us a message. For those of you who worry about the cats you feed, please scroll down and follow the simple directions we've laid out for you.
Please read this very helpful information about Humane Trapping and Discharge Instructions following spay/neuter surgery.
For Feral Cat Caretakers: Thank you for logging on to our
Barn Cat Buddies site. Currently we have no barns or other facilities in
reserve and we constantly run ads and post flyers up. If you have kitties
to re-home first please
click here to read the protocol . Familiarize yourself
with it so you can speak to farms in your area about how to safely re-home a
kitty. Then feel free to
download,
print and post barn cat flyers in as many places as you can. Some areas
could be vet's offices/laundromats/tack shops, etc. You can get to places we
cannot. Calls that come in from the areas where you post a flyer will be
referred back to you.
CLICK HERE to email us and
let us know where you are posting and how many cats need to be placed.
One small effort such as talking up the program and posting flyers can pay
off in a big way!

Remember, a Barn Cat Buddy WILL ALWAYS GO TO THEIR NEW BARN HOME STERILIZED, EAR-NOTCHED & RABIES VACCINATED PRIOR TO THEIR RE-HOMING. By adopting a pair of expert Rodent Control Technicians you not only safe-guard expensive feed & grain, but also give these needy felines a SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE.
The Barn Cat Buddies program operates under the umbrella of Angels of Assisi in Roanoke, a 501(C)(3) non-profit foundation. Your tax deductible donation helps defray the cost of sterilizing and vaccinating cats entering the the Barn Cat Buddies Program and also helps cat caretakers sterilize the colonies they care for.

We sincerely thank you for any donation you can make.
We’re the professionals who won’t cause a fuss;
we’re all ‘fixed’ up so no kittens for us.
By doing our job we’re bound to impress,
we’re The Barn Cat Buddies just controlling the mess

I am the voice of the voiceless:
Through me, the dumb shall speak;
Till the deaf world's ear be made to hear
The cry of the wordless weak.
From street, from cage and from kennel,
From jungle, and stall, the wail
Of my tortured kin proclaims the sin
Of the mighty against the frail
You can make a difference in an animal's life.
