Anyone who has ever had a pet cat, or even just played with one, will know that cats are natural hunters, so one rescue organization decided to use their natural instincts to help them find a home.
Each year, nearly 1.5 million cats are euthanized in the United States because they run out of time in a shelter, or because they are considered ‘unadoptable’. To help give these innocent animals a second chance, and give them another opportunity to find a home, SpokAnimal, a Washington state rescue organization, set up a program to find ‘unadoptable’ cats jobs.
Since cats are natural hunters, and are experts at killing mice, SpokAnimal pairs cats with farms and warehouse owners who have a mouse problem where they fill the position of ‘mouse manager’.
It might not be great news for mice, but since the program began in 2009, 1,700 cats have been saved from being killed, and have not only found jobs, but families as well.
