Meet Arthur! 

Get ready to fall in love with Arthur, an energetic Boxer mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This handsome boy is full of life and always ready for his next adventure. Whether he's racing around with the zoomies, soaking up affection from his favorite people, or showing off his soccer skills with his beloved Jolly Balls, Arthur knows how to make every day a little more fun!

Arthur is looking for an active home where he can enjoy plenty of exercise, playtime, and opportunities to burn off his energy. Once he's had his fun, this sweet lovebug is more than happy to snuggle up close and soak up all the love he can get. He's the perfect combination of playful spirit and affectionate charm!

When it comes to other dogs, Arthur can be a bit selective about his friends. With the right introduction and a compatible canine companion, he may do well sharing his home with another dog, but a good match will be important.

If you're looking for a fun-loving companion who will keep you smiling, join you on adventures, and happily turn a Jolly Ball into his own personal soccer game, Arthur might just be your guy! He's ready to find a family who will embrace his playful personality and give him all the love he deserves.

Meet Loki! 

Loki is a 6-year-old mixed breed with a handsome face and a personality ready to shine! At six years young, he's got the perfect blend of grown-up charm and playful spirit. He's old enough to know a thing or two about life but certainly not ready to retire from having fun!

Loki would love a family who will include him in their daily adventures, give him room to be his goofy self, and appreciate all the love a wonderful adult dog has to offer. Whether it's exploring the great outdoors or enjoying some well-earned relaxation, Loki is ready to make himself right at home.

With a little love, structure, and plenty of tasty treats, this handsome fellow is ready to become someone's loyal sidekick, adventure buddy, and full-time professional snack inspector.

Come meet Loki and see if he's the missing piece of your family!

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.
