Carson

Meet Carson: The Ranch's Self-Appointed Resident

Personality: Bold, independent, and a little bit bossy

Specialty: Finding his way back home, no matter where he's taken

Current Routine: Catio nights with his crew, open-ranch roaming by day

Carson is a cat who knows exactly what he wants—and what he wanted was Big Sky Ranch! He originally showed up on the sanctuary grounds as a stray without an ear tip. When our team humanely trapped him, they discovered he was already neutered, meaning someone had previously trapped, fixed, and released him without marking his ear.

Hoping to give him a working home, Carson was placed as a barn cat at a neighboring farm in the area. But Carson had other plans! He promptly packed his bags, made the trek all the way back to Big Sky Ranch on his own accord, and decided he was never leaving again.

While Carson has a bit of a swagger and can sometimes play the role of the neighborhood bully with other felines, he has settled in remarkably well. Over time, he selected a few specific cat buddies he actually likes, and now enjoys a routine made just for him: spending his nights safely tucked into a cozy catio with his handpicked crew, and spending his days freely wandering the ranch property he claimed for himself.

Carson proved that Big Sky Ranch is where his heart belongs. By sponsoring Carson, you help cover his daily meals, routine care, and catio accommodations, ensuring this determined boy continues to live life entirely on his own terms.
