A Community Cat at Work

This month, CPAW NJ recognizes the saving gift to community cats that are welcomed and cared for in local businesses.  Richfield Farms and Garden Center in Clifton, NJ, is an outstanding example of a business that has adopted animals in need of homes and currently draws customers in with its star feline staffer, Babe, a very handsome and outgoing black and white guy who accepts his due adulation in the store and roams the 1+ acre grounds at his will.  Part of Babe’s attraction, beyond his friendliness, is his unusual tail:  It is all-black and ends in what looks like a flower, created by a split that enables him to wave two sections of his tail independently.  It is a mystery how this came about – possibly a birth accident – but to Babe, it is one of his natural attractions.

About six years ago, a Richfield Farms customer who had a pregnant cat asked whether the family-owned business would be willing to take in the expected kittens.  The business agreed and two young cats joined the staff, Babe and his less social brother Bandit, who retreats this time of year to the office printer in a sunny window.  The farm and garden center provides heated shelter, food, water, and veterinary care – including neutering – and lots of love.  The family also cares for an Australian sheepdog.

While animal welfare organizations like CPAW NJ tend to focus on adoptions of kittens born to community cats and returns to community care situations for adult cats trapped and neutered, the example of the generous owners of Richfield Family Farms and Garden Center – in its fifth generation – provides another avenue for lifesaving and loving homes for cats in need of caregivers. Babe is loved and beloved by the large family of Richfield Farms customers.
