Butch

Pest Management Solutions

Butch has been the farm cat since 2011. Butch is most inspired by territory preservation, be it the farm perimeter, a basket he's intrigued with, chairs not yet graced with his fuzz, though he favors any available laps. Meow!

According to local legend, Butch arrived in the dark of night (between 10 pm and 7 am), like a shadow with golden eyes. He was wrapped in a basket, with a warning note about his sheer skill as a hunter.
