The Barn Cat Buddies program was created to save feral or skittish cats from a life of hunger on the streets or being destroyed in local shelters. Barn Cat Buddies are sterilized and rabies vaccinated prior to moving to their new barn homes. As an organization, Barn Cat Buddies volunteers perform TNR (trap, neuter, release) which helps to control feral colonies. Barn Cat Buddies helps to educate the public on how to successfully rescue a cat and sometimes assists with publicizing foster cats and kittens to help them get adopted.
