RCHS reminds residents of its “working cat” program

Everyone knows cats are experts at napping but do you know they’re also hard workers?  They’re natural rodent deterrents and they love their jobs! If you have a farm, stable, warehouse, factory, greenhouse, nursery, winery, distillery, junkyard, storage facility, repair shop, retail store and more and you have a problem with rodents, Rutland County Humane Society’s working cat program might be the solution.

Cats in the program are spayed/neutered and have at least rabies and distemper vaccinations.  These cats are those who aren’t socialized enough or have other limitations to be placed up for adoption in a home environment.

This non-tradition approach allows these cats to receive shelter, access to food and water and the care they need while offering the service of expert rodent control to their kindhearted adopters.  There is no adoption fee for our working cats but a donation would be greatly appreciated.  To learn more about the working cat program please call 802-483-6700 or visit rchsvt.org.
