All about Zaylo
Animal ID: 2000203564

Zaylo is a 7 months old male Domestic Medium Hair/Mix cat who weighs 4 pounds.

Zaylo is a barn cat, and is not available through our general adoption program. Please email adopt@calgaryhumane.ca if you are interested in adoption. Do not make an appointment through our booking calendar.

Age: 6-8 months

Zaylo is a young cat who was rescued from an overcrowding situation and is now looking for his forever home. Having grown up with little to no human socialization, Zaylo is quite fearful of us here and would do best with cat friends. For this reason, we believe Zaylo would thrive as a barn cat. With winter coming, we are hoping to find Zaylo a safe, warm, barn or shop environment with plenty of cozy hiding spaces and access to daily fresh food or water. In return for access to food and a comfortable living space, Zaylo is ready to help hunt and deter mice and other rodents from the area.

Cats can take several weeks to view a new space as "home" but once they do, barn kitties tend to stick close to home, ensuring you can enjoy each others' company for many years to come. That's why confinement indoors for the first several weeks will be important. Afterwards, you can choose how much of a relationship you'd like to have with your new barn buddy! While barn cats qualify for the program due to their under socialization to people, with time many barn cats will become quite friendly with their humans.

If you have a cozy and warm space to welcome Zaylo into, please email our adoptions team today!

Note that many cats do not reach full size until they are about a year and a half old. The weight listed here is the cat's current weight.
