When Austin Pets Alive! rescues abused or poorly socialized kitties from the shelter, sometimes we have to consider a non-traditional home placement. In fact, APA! has placed 132 "Barn Cats" in the last year, which contributes to Austin's No Kill status. APA! believes these kitties don’t deserve to die simply because they can’t go into a home environment. Just by looking at these cats, you'd never know they were feral or under-socialized, but we recognize that they deserve shelter, access to food and water and the stimulation of "critter hunting" that a barn placement provides.
