We are considering rehoming a cat. No experience of cats whatsoever so would appreciate some kind advice if possible 🙂
We live by fields and there are dykes and drains all around. Added to that we keep chickens. So rats are commonplace around here, and we understand that this winter has also been particularly favourable for rat breeding, with far more about! It doesn’t bother us too much but it would be nice to be able to stay on top of their presence in the garden, not have to use poison or traps, etc, so we have been considering an outdoor mouser (ratter?) cat that would be happy to live in the shed.
Are there particulr breeds that are happier with this ‘lifestyle’?
Do rescue centres ever have cats to rehome that are outdoor/barn cats? If so, what would they like to see in new owners?
Or is it better to get a kitten that learns this way of life from the begining?
