barn cat
Rodent control pet
A barn cat is a cat kept on a farm or rural property primarily to control mice and other pests rather than as a house pet.
Barn cats are typically semi-feral, living outdoors in outbuildings and receiving minimal human attention beyond basic feeding: The barn cats keep the grain storage free of rodents.
