- Barn Cats does not take kittens. They can be carried off by a hawk in the daytime or an owl at night. Cats should be 8 months or older.
- We do not take solid white cats. They reflect moonlight and would be a target for Mr. Coyote who is also nocturnal.
- Barn Cats does not take un-sterilized cats. We cannot contribute to the feline over-population problem.
- Only cats with current rabies vaccinations are accepted into the program. The highest rate of rabies in Texas is in our North Texas area.
- We do not take cats who could be trapped, neutered, and released (TNR). Those cats are not in danger and are better off being returned to their current living situation.
- Cats are brought to us in Lewisville, Texas on a pre-arranged schedule. We cannot travel all over our 37 county territory picking up cats at homes, warehouses, and veterinary clinics.
- Barn Cats does not take friendly cats. There are plenty of other groups that support that mission.
- We will not release cats to a barn owner or any other individual unless they are a know member of a partner organization who is organizing the relocation. (visit the LINKS section of this website)
