Even though I'm a proponent of indoor-only cats, there are some kitties who need a home, but are not suitable for an indoor-only environment.
They deserve a forever home and quality care just like any other cat, so the Forsyth Humane Society developed a working cat program in order to give those cats a chance.
I met some of those wonderful kitties, and so far all of them have found a home.

In 2009, I visited a Whisky Distillery in Scotland. They used to have a working cat called Towser, she was an excellent mouser - there's even a statue of her, which you can see here:

After he died, they employed new cats, hoping they would get one as skilled as Towser.

PS. If you ever go there, they also have the most delicious homemade "Millionaire shortbread."
