Community Cat Program

Barn cats, sometimes called community cats, outdoor cats or working cats, are a great addition to your rural property! 

Would you like to have some barn cats for your farm? Cats can provide excellent rodent control. Madison Cat Project is eager to work with rural property owners who are willing to provide a permanent, caring home for our available cats. A farm is an ideal home for cats who prefer not to interact with people and cats who are semi-friendly or friendly but would like to be outdoors. 

There are many benefits of adopting feral or semi-feral cats from MCP:

  • Our cats are healthy, sterilized, vaccinated, and tested for FeLV.

  • Cats can provide excellent organic rodent control.

  • The “Feel Good” factor: you are directly responsible for saving lives!

Our feral cats can be delivered to their new home upon request. Adoptions for rural cats are $25 per cat, but additional donations are always appreciated! For adopters over 60 minutes from our location, we’re currently encouraging pickups of outdoor cats and supplies. Or, we suggest an additional $25 donation for the delivery service. You can discuss these options with our coordinator.

We are a private 501(c)3. Our operating costs are entirely covered by donations. Our adoption fees do not cover the cost for our care of the cats.

Please note that we do not adopt kittens under the age of 6 months into barn homes.

If you are interested in adopting some cats for your rural property, please fill out the questionnaire to get started!
