Meet Violet!
Violet - a beautiful bloom just waiting for the right garden to call home!
Just like her namesake flower, Violet is sweet, bright, and impossible not to adore. This playful girl loves soaking up attention, enjoying playtime, and making new canine friends. Violet enjoys playing with other dogs and would love a companion who can match her fun-loving energy and playful spirit.
She would thrive in a home with children 8 years old and older who can respect her boundaries and join in on her adventures. While Violet does well with dogs her size, she needs a home without smaller animals, including small pets and farm animals.
With the right family, Violet is sure to blossom into the loyal, loving companion she was meant to be. If you're looking for a playful best friend with a heart as lovely as a spring garden, Violet may just be your perfect flower.

Meet MEMPHIS!
Right now, Memphis may seem a bit grumpy or withdrawn, but underneath that is a cat who simply misses comfort, routine, and a space of his own. He's not asking for much, just a soft place to land, a calm environment, and someone who understands that good things take a little time.
Memphis would do best in a quiet home where he can truly relax and enjoy his golden years. With patience and a gentle touch, we believe he'll settle in, let his guard down, and show you the warm, steady companionship that only a senior cat can offer.
If you're looking to give a deserving old soul the peaceful retirement he's been waiting for, Memphis might just be your guy

City Cats seeking Country Life
Got Mice? We can Help!
Our Barn Cat Program is designed
to match highly trained mousers
with welcoming barns, shops, or other
safe environments. Qualifying barn
cats are altered, vaccinated, and micro-
chipped, and they prefer living and
working outdoors to living an
inside life.
Please call 406-758-2412
or email dbrusell@flathead.mt.gov for more information.
Farm Life is the Life for Me!
If you have a barn, stable, warehouse, shop, nursery, etc. then you can help save a cat!
While the majority of cats can easily live as indoor house pets, sometimes we have cats who prefer to live as a working cat. Cats in our Working Cat Program, also known as our Barn Cat Program, fall into one of these categories:
-
Under-socialized cats who prefer the company of other cats/animals over people.
-
Feisty cats who are on a mission to hunt and when kept as indoor cats tend to bite or scratch.
-
Cats whose litter box habits make them unable to live in the house successfully.
-
Cats who were outdoor cats prior to surrender and cannot acclimate to an indoor home.
Please note that we do not adopt indoor house cats who are suitable to being household companions into barns, warehouses, etc.
Adopting a working cat can help you control a rodent population while providing companionship for your barn animals.
What we provide
When you adopt a cat through our Working Cat Program, the cat will be:
-
Spayed or neutered
-
Up-to-date on vaccinations and testing for common feline diseases
-
Micro-chipped (a form of permanent identification)
We will review guidelines to help you acclimate your cat to your environment in a safe manner.
What you provide
-
Shelter in a warehouse, barn, outbuilding, or stable, away from high traffic streets
-
Daily food and water
-
Long-term veterinary care, as needed
-
A secure dedicated space to allow for the cat’s acclimation to its new environment. This can be a tack room or an indoor enclosure that they cannot escape from. In some cases we may be able to lend you a crate or cage for the introductory period.
Things to consider
Adopting a cat through FCAS can help save the life of a cat who may not have other options. However, the care of a working cat is still an important responsibility. You will be assuming care for the cat for its lifetime, which may be as much as 15 or 20 years. In exchange for providing the essentials of food & water, medical care, and shelter, your working cat will earn its keep by helping to control the rodent population in your building.
Please call 406-758-2412 or email dbrusell@flathead.mt.gov for more information.
