BARCS’ ‘Working Cats’ Are Looking for Jobs

Working Cat Program

Rodents Running Rampant? Our Cats Can Help!

Our working cats, who aren’t suited for indoor living, would love to spend their lives helping to control your barn, warehouse, corporate campus, plant nursery or other places of business’ rodent and pest population. All they ask for in return is shelter, food, water and care. Best of all, when you give our cats a job, you’re saving the lives of homeless pets who otherwise would not have been suitable for adoption. There is no adoption fee for BARCS’ Working Cats, who are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, ear-tipped and microchipped. We’ll transport the cats to you** and provide all the supplies you need to help your cats adapt to their new environment, including:

• Enclosure

• Food

• Bedding

• Litter box and litter

Pearl

The Annapolis Maritime Museum

The Annapolis Maritime Museum is housed in one of the last oyster-packing plants in Annapolis. We had a terrible problem with mice, both upstairs and downstairs. We read an ad on Craigslist that explained your Working Cat Program. Since Pearl has been a resident, we haven’t had any signs of mice, or if one was spotted, Pearl didn’t let them visit for long! Pearl is beloved by the staff, attends meetings regularly and has a chair in every office.
