Working Cats
About Working Cats
At the SPCA, we know that, just like people, cats come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and personalities. While many are suited to a traditional indoor home, there are others who require different arrangements to be happy. We’re not just talking about feral cats, though they are certainly included. We’re also talking about cats who may have troubles consistently using a litter box or have too much energy to be content being confined to the house. Some of these cats can be quite social while others will want little or no contact with people.
We believe there is a suitable home for each of these cats, no matter what their preferences may be. It may not fit the traditional definition of “home” but at the SPCA, whatever your situation, we believe there’s a cat for that.
