Cats
Here, kitty kitty!
Cats play a valuable role in our farm community, contributing in various ways that enhance both the environment and the well-being of our farm animals.
One of the primary benefits of having cats on a farm is their ability to control rodent populations. Farm settings often attract mice, rats, and other small pests that can cause damage, spread disease, and create an unhealthy environment. Cats are natural hunters and can significantly reduce these populations, leading to a healthier and more productive farm community.

Boots
Boots and Heather were found in an older mans barn in Shelby, NC in April 2024. He wanted nothing to do with them. A facebook friend mentioned them and we agreed to pick them up.
We bottle fed them until they could eat solid food. We were told they were sisters, until be took them to be spayed and the vet said, "surprise" Macy is a boy. So, we changed his name to Boots.

Sammy
This sweet little boy was found all alone in my neighbors front yard on a hot summer day. The shelters were at maximum capacity and he had no where to go. He is now a permanent resident at Storybook Farm.

Kate, Ashlee, Smokey
Kate, Ashlee and Smokey were feral cats rescued in the summer of 2025. At Storybook Farm, the trio quickly found their favorite place: the branches of the weeping willow. There they race up and down trunks and leap through the hanging leaves, dodging the dogs.
Their days are full of small adventures. Kate delights in stalking through tall grass while Ashlee and Smokey launch chases through the corn field. When the hunting slows, they turn to one of their favorite pastimes—hide and seek among the farm’s hay loft.
Rescue brought them warmth, steady meals, and safe places to play, but it also gave them each other. Together they have learned to trust the humans at the barn and the rhythms of farm life, turning once-feral instincts into joyful games that brighten every afternoon at Storybook Farm.
