I am so depressed the cat that helped with my predator control is gone

I had a cat that hunted wesel, rats, snakes etc... Now he just vanished it really sucks. Most cats will not take the prey he did!

Anyone know how i could find another cat that will be as good as a hunter? HE was amazing at catching weasels!

I would say, get another barn cat. That must have been a good cat. Don't give up yet though, I have an outdoor cat that has been gone for days, then just shows up.

Sorry to hear that!

If you don't have any other cats that they'd fight with ask at your local shelter. Our shelter doesn't adopt out feral or barn cats, but they do direct people that want those kinds of cats to a small local rescue that specializes in them. Around here SW WA it's called (I think) Working Cats Rescue.

How long has he been gone? Some of mine often dissapear for a few days at a time and I have one that is gone from late Spring until early Winter--I call her our 1/2 a cat because she's gone so much.​

We have a cat like that hes a great hunter. But like you also he disappeared on us so we thought. Hes still around he will come back for a little bit of human contact then we dont see him much. I guess he just likes to be by him self. Now we are starting to see his kids so hopefully he passed the hunting quailities on to them. Just keep a look out for your cat. The first time ours took off we didnt see him for about 3 months.

My female that is gone half the year was spayed at 3 months old, she just likes to go wild.
