Friends of Rowlett Animals helps feral cats with Witness PURR-tection Program

(ROCKWALL, TX – May 2, 2016) Hi, my name is Nona. I am a feral cat. I am not up for adoption. Instead, I will be going to a warehouse or barn to live.

I arrived at the Rowlett Animal Shelter in a live trap. Boy was I scared. You see, I prefer not to have contact with humans. I have a very important job. My job is to rid your neighborhood of rodents, snakes, and bugs. I like to think that I am very good at what I do.

I am excited to start my new life as a barn or warehouse cat. First I will visit the vet to be spayed and get my shots. Two days later I will be at my new forever home. I know I’ll be scared at first, but being able to live in a large crate for 2 weeks makes me feel more secure and gives me plenty of time to get used to my new home. Then back to work.

The Witness Purr-tection Program was made just for our feral friends. Friends of Rowlett Animals provide the crate set-up and vetting. All you have to provide is food, water, and shelter. They need a space (or a small room)where a crate is temporarily set-up for the cat to stay in for 2 weeks to get them to accept the new place as their home.
