Barn Cat Adoption Registration Form

BARN CAT ADOPTION REGISTRATION

Complete the form below to register to adopt. You must live in Doña Ana County and its surrounding areas to be able to adopt a barn cat. **PLEASE NOTE** in most cases you will be contacted as soon as your application is submitted as there are TNR cats that cannot be released back into their community and these are then labeled Barn Cats to be released elsewhere.

BARN CAT PROGRAM INFO
1. The adoption fee is waived. You will be responsible for ongoing veterinary care (as necessary), food, water, and shelter.

2. When you bring the new cat(s) home, they will need to be confined to an escape-proof room or enclosure like a tack room, garage, coop, or XXL dog crate for 2-4 weeks while they acclimate to their new surroundings. You will need to feed/water and clean the litter pan daily during the confinement period. After the confinement period, the cats will usually accept their new home and surroundings and may be released. You will continue to provide daily food and water and allow them access to shelter such as a barn or garage.

3. Please note that you will have to bring a cat carrier or trap to pick up your barn cat on the date agreed upon with ASCMV staff.
Please check if you understand the information above.

I have read, understood, and accepted the barn cat program procedures above.
BARN CAT PROGRAM FAQ'S
Heading
1. All barn cats come spayed/neutered, they are current on vaccinations, microchipped, and ear tipped.

2. The cats require shelter in a permanent building or structure like a barn, shed, stable, or garage in a suitable rural area where they will be safe. The property should be at least a .5 mile away from busy roads.

3. Daily food and water must be provided, as well as any future medical care needed.

4. When you are scheduled to adopt, we will select barn cats for you bases on which cats are the most eager to enter a cat carrier for us. If you have a color, age, or gender preference, we will do our best to accommodate you, though, we are not able to make any promises!

5. We strongly encourage adopters to offer cats in this program an independent outdoor life complemented by appropriate care and shelter like a barn or garage.

Not all cats in the barn cat program are social, friendly cats, or suited to be pets. They have no desire to be "lap cats" and often cannot be touched, or they may take a long time to trust enough to pet.

6. The youngest cats in the Barn Cat Program are approximately six months old. The ASCMV will not adopt younger kittens as barn cats, as they do not yet have the knowledge, size, or skills to remain safe outdoors. Most cats in the barn cat program are young adults between one and five years of age, although we do have younger and older cats available occasionally.
