About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. Our dream is that someday we are able to transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

" once was a hobo barn cat, exploring the gold shaw farm, finding a "rEwoWOw " on the way. Running off as the human aproached. a week or to later, a friendly women set food out for our hobo barn cat. he decided it would be a great adventure to continue exploring the gold shaw farm, cleansing the land of rodents as he came, pablo wasnt fond of him, but was okay without the rodents. Hobo barn cat collected the mice, rats, and pests and gave the rodents to other strays, to make sure they were fed. the local vermont strays called him a god, he declared himself as, The wandering lone warrior, slowling gaining popularity, and respect. other strays say hobo barn cat still roams various farms and cities, collecting rodents and mice on the way. but other strays say hes just a legend."

Growing up on a farm, we'd always have stray cats (mostly males) show up in the winter and stay in the barn during the coldest months, then skedaddle as soon as a hint of spring was in the air. Some did this for years. I love kitties, can't wait to see you add to your collection!

If there's a steady supply of food and they're able to dodge cars, they generally survive quite a long time. They go where the food is. Cars kill more cats than just about anything else. Most of the farm cats my grandpa had died from getting hit by cars - and he didn't live on a busy road either.

Hopefully that cat will be there some morning & will actually let you approach it (or it is better if you let the cat approach you instead, act friendly...er) (probably set up one of these cat places for Pablo too, otherwise he might be jealous, and he definitely deserve it for his hard work) :D
