(WBTW) — The Grand Strand and the Florence Area humane societies are great shelters offering a fostering program. You can sign up to foster a dog or cat on their website and complete a simple and easy application. Foster homes help save more lives and are a great option if you can’t adopt. However, a more uncommon program known as a barn cat program saves cats from euthanasia.Thankfully, we have a barn cat program in our viewing area. Located in Bennettsville, the Humane Society of Marlboro County has a unique program which, as the name implies, is specifically for cats. The barn cat program takes in feral cats that arrive at the county shelter. Feral cats are unable to be placed in homes with families because they are unsocialized, outdoor cats that try to avoid humans. Therefore, the barn cat program was adopted as a nontraditional placement option. The barn cats are saved from the euthanasia list, then spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and placed in a barn where they are provided food, water and shelter.Barn cats can be adopted, but only as “working” cats. This means they are on critter patrol. You may adopt a barn cat if you can provide an appropriate environment that is not a home. Adopted feral cats would need to live in a barn, stable, garage, or warehouse. This adoption is a partnership — the cats are safe from the elements and adopters will get their mouse or vermin problems under control.You can find details on the program at The Humane Society of Marlboro County, contact them at 843-479-3330 or visit 242 AG Street, Bennettsville, SC, 29512.</div></body>
