While every animal rescue center has the same goal in mind, this Furball Farm Cat Sanctuary from Faribault Minnesota, differs from your regular cat rescue organization.
They are dedicated to saving as many feral cats as possible, making sure they have a safe space to spend their time. So, let’s learn more about their work and see how they changed the lives of numerous cats.
Recently, they rescued a huge colony of cats with a heartbreaking background. You see, the cats from today’s story spent the majority of their lives caged up, not knowing what it’s like to be loved or cared for.
What’s even sadder is that these poor furballs had never touched grass, felt the breeze through their whiskers, or experienced the joy of chasing bugs. But now, they all got a new chance in life thanks to Furball Farm Cat Sanctuary and their brilliant plan.
Once they were rescued by this amazing organization, the shelter staff decided to change all that and quickly came up with a brilliant idea.
With more than enough outdoor space around the shelter, the team decided to build a huge catio for the rescued cats, where they could safely roam around and enjoy the sun, something they could never do before!
After months of careful planning and building, the day to release the cats finally came. The shelter decided to capture it all on camera, curious to see how they were going to react.
Once they opened the gates, they thought the cats would run out immediately. However, what happened next was far from what they expected.
The cats stood still, almost as if they were scared to take a leap.
One of the cats named Otis, decided to break the ice. He was the first to jump outside, showing the other cats there’s nothing to be afraid of!
Slowly but surely, all of the cats followed him. They started going out, but most of them were still afraid of the unknown. Luckily, the shelter staff was there to encourage them!
It’s truly sad to think that most of these cats never experienced such a simple thing as walking on grass, but thanks to amazing organizations like Furball Farm Cat Sanctuary it was all about to change!
After days of living in cages, the cats were finally safe and ready to explore the beauty of the outdoors.
Make sure to watch the video down below and see their reaction to their new outdoor space!
Now, these felines have enough safe space where they can roam freely and thrive in their lives until someone decides to offer them a loving home.
Hopefully, each one of them will get the chance to have a family who will shower them with love and care because that’s what every cat in this world deserves!
