Duchess

My story

Duchess is a Working Cat! She can best be described as a Nighttime Ninja: Nighttime Ninja answers to no one! She expects that you’ll entrust her with her responsibilities and then give her the time and space she needs to accomplish his task. These cats have little to no experience with people, and their instinct is to lay low and keep their distance. This working cat will work hard from the shadows.Our Working/Barn Cat Program is designed to find feral and community cats safe outdoor homes in barns, warehouses, farms, and other safe locations for cats that are not candidates for our traditional adoption programs. These are not lap cats.Why Adopt a Working Cat?Working Cats benefit their caretakers!
