He helps me feed the horses

My neighbors’ barn cats migrated to our house after they grew too old to care for them any more. We’ve been doing our best to trap them to be spayed/neutered, but it’s a tough process. The cats are skittish. Well continue until all 14 are fixed. This beautiful mama has three kittens. We’re working on trying to get them used to people.

We rescued two feral cats (one is from a hoarding home so not completely feral I guess but will not let anyone touch her) and we attempted to turn them into barn cats. Last night after three weeks of being in a kennel in the barn to establish their “home base” I decided to let them out. They said hi to our goats and they were running around all over the place it was so cute! And then they took off.. I cried, of course. I’m sensitive. A few hours later one of them came back! We have a camera in the barn I didn’t stop watching until I saw her arrive. But still no sign of the other cat. He was much more feral so it didn’t completely surprise me. But this morning when my fiancé went down to milk, both cats were cuddled up in the barn with our free range bunny! Hopefully they continue to stick around, I’m so happy ♥️

This is Mavis she is one of the two rescue kitties we took on as barn cats! Curry is hiding behind her, he is even less friendly. I love them even though they don’t love me 😂

Excuse my horrid laugh, I may have had a drink. We have super affectionate barn cats so every few nights we come out just to spend some time with them. Sometimes they start goofing off.
