It turns out that Casey First, owner of North Asheville\u2019s Wild Birds Unlimited (NAWBU), has a soft spot for fur as well as feathers. When he opened his store in 2016, First began partnering with rescue organizations to foster cats. Since that time, he has seen more than 100 cats adopted. For the last three years, NAWBU has partnered with Brother Wolf Animal Rescue (BWAR). \u201cI had always admired the organization and their presence in the Asheville community,\u201d First says. \u201cThey do great work as a no-kill shelter, working relentlessly to home not only cats but also dogs and other animals.\u201d<\/p>\n

While customers frequently comment on the surprise of finding a cat in a store that sells birdhouses and birdseed, they find it a charming touch and some people drop by especially to visit the resident cat. \u201cWe\u2019ve even had folks come in over the years and bring in treats, hand-knit blankets and fresh catnip they grew in their yard,\u201d First says. \u201cIt really is such a good initiative for the larger community.\u201d (And, he adds, the cats keep away mice that might fancy a birdseed snack.)<\/p>\n

The cats that BWAR sends to the store are ones that it thinks will do well with the hustle and bustle of a retail environment. Since they live at the store, First comes in during closed times to feed and play with them.<\/p>\n

BWAR values the businesses that foster animals and give them greater visibility as they await adoption. \u201cWith this impactful partnership, we have been able to help more cats in our community needing help,\u201d says Brooke Fornea, director of marketing and guest experience at BWAR. \u201cHaving cats be fostered at Wild Birds helps them live stress-free until they find their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although First and his wife have been tempted to adopt a foster cat many times, they have so far resisted the urge\u2014especially with their young Border Collie, Scout, at home at present. However, three cats have gone home with staff members so far, and a love for cats is a qualification for working at the store. \u201cThe staff takes care of these cats like they would at home,\u201d First says, \u201chelping with the litter, feeding and helping give medication.\u201d<\/p>\n

First always recommends that cats be adopted as indoor pets. \u201cOutdoor cats pose a huge danger to the songbird population,\u201d he says. \u201cIn fact, it is estimated that as many as 3 billion songbirds are killed each year by cats alone. We recommend getting a birdfeeder so your indoor cat can enjoy some \u2018bird TV\u2019 and stay entertained, all while keeping the birds\u2014and the cats\u2014safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

When a cat gets adopted, First sets off to BWAR for the next foster cat. \u201cHaving a cat at the store is like having a cat at your home,\u201d he says. \u201cIt really is sweet to come in and see a cat perched up on a bag of birdseed or curled up in a ball taking a nap inside a birdbath.\u201d<\/p>\n
