2nd Chance Ranch

By FieldHaven Feline Center

Thanks to your support, the 2^nd Chance Ranch was officially opened on Saturday, October 22.

This new state-of-the-art facility will temporarily house feral and semi-feral cats until they’re ready to assume their Rodent Ranger jobs at barns, warehouses, wineries, stables – or wherever unwanted critters invade.

2^nd Chance Ranch residents will begin their journey in Buck’s Barn, a holding area where each cat’s health and behavior will be assessed prior to being spayed or neutered. Buck’s Barn (named in memory of long-time volunteer Buck Ewing) also doubles as a resource center for people who manage feral colonies, and will offer traps, cages, and all the necessary equipment needed.

After they’re cleared, cats will move into one of four enclosures in Camp Joe Willie (named in memory of Mark Glickman’s beloved tuxedo). Camp Joe Willie is a barn split into four rooms. Each enclosure accommodates eight to ten cats, including a generous outdoor area.
