SAN ANTONIO – Pest control can be costly and contain harmful chemicals. But Animal Care Services may have a better solution for you, and it comes with four paws and one tail.
The ACS Barn Cat Program enables local residents to adopt a barn cat to provide natural pest control for their property.
“These aren’t the cats that cuddle you on the couch; Instead, barn cats like to patrol your property to keep it pest free, ”ACS said in a Facebook post.
Barn cats are suitable for outdoor living and, according to ACS, are sterilized, vaccinated and microchipped. All that is needed to care for the cats is food, water and shelter.
Animal Care Services said they even have their own group of stable cats to help keep pests out of their facility.
“Adopting a barn cat really saves the life of a pet that otherwise couldn’t be housed,” said ACS.

Adoption costs are free for stable cats and anyone interested is encouraged to contact the adoption team at acsadoptions@sanantonio.gov.
