SJRAS's CATS IN ACTION Program

Did you know that you can personally hire CIA agents?! Attention farms, horse barns, and cat lovers in rural areas - our Cats In Action program offers you low-wage assistance in keeping your property rodent free while saving a life at the same time! Two different types of AGENTS available for hire:

AGENTSΒ are cats that would prefer little interaction with their human bosses. They'll provide updates on the rodent population occasionally, but would prefer to do so in passing and not in a personal meeting. They're not the cats you'll find hanging out at the water cooler talking about the latest TV shows or workplace gossip.

DOUBLE AGENTSΒ are purrrfect for those in a rural setting that like to have indoor/outdoor cats. They've got street smarts and are resourceful, but also don't mind being included in group activities or team building meetings. They're just as comfy working in the field or lounging on the couch.

Whichever CIA Agent is the right fit for YOUR place, you'll find them in our adoptable cats list! Take a peek today to find the right feline for the job!

Already know which Agent is your choice? Submit aΒ CIA HIRING REQUEST FORM(also known as an adoption questionnaire).

Is this a relatively new position at your place? Not quite sure what working conditions you'll need to provide for your new employee? Check out our CIA Agent Working Conditions guide below.

Looking to adding a working cat to your family? Our CIA Agent cats are less social cats that are perfect for protecting your property or barn from unwanted critters. Because they have different needs than a typical house cat they have their own form with their specific employment requirements.

First Steps

Your new cat should be set up in a confined area when it first arrives at your barn, for approximately aΒ week. If the barn doors close securely the cat can be confined to the barn, but most people preferΒ confining the cat to a tack room or feed room. While confined your new cat should have access to aΒ clean litter box (even if the cat will not have a litter box once released), food and water. By keepingΒ your cat in the barn for about a week, your cat will associate the barn as β€œhome base” so that onceΒ the cat has free reign of the property, it will stick around, and know where to come for food. If thereΒ are other animals in the barn area (like other cats or dogs) it is recommended you keep your new catΒ separate from these animals for at least a week so the cat can adjust to one big change (location!) atΒ a time.
