What if you fell in love with a farmhouse? You want to buy it but there are a lot of conditions. 16, to be exact.Would you still buy it?Emily and Dylan bought a farmhouse with a rich history. But there was a catch.It came with 16 feral cats.“The realtor said they don’t think they can really catch the cats,” Dylan told
“Is it going to be a deal breaker? And I said, ‘No.’”They first saw the farmhouse in the summer of 2018 and fell in love with it.“It was everything we had dreamt of and more. Fast forward a few months and the house is officially ours now. We moved in a few weeks back, but are looking forward to spending forever here,” Emily wrote on their Instagram post.
“The plan is for this home to become a sanctuary as well – a safe haven for many animals in the future. And so Freedom Farmhouse was born! We are so excited to share everything that is to come with this truly special property.”

And so, a few months later, Emily and Dylan moved in with their three dogs. And, in the process, they lived with 16 cats.

The cats all lived outside in a shed on the property.
And when Emily and Dylan wanted to hang out with them, they’d go out to the driveway and play with the cats.
“I remember when I would go out there to feed them, they would scatter and they would run. They were so skittish,” Dylan shared. “And now when I come home, they’ll come up to me and they’ll want some sort of attention.”
Emily did admit she had mixed feelings about the cats at the start.
“When we first moved in I was not happy about all the barn cats that were left behind. I have never even owned a cat before, let alone,” Emily admitted. “Fast forward 7 months later and I love my kitties.”
But the previous owners of the farmhouse had only provided an old shed where the cats eat and sleep.
