Visiting The Cat House
To ensure that those who are seriously interested in adopting can spend time with the cats, priority is given to visitors who have submitted an adoption application, whether or not they have been interviewed and approved to adopt. If you’re interested in adoption, please see our “adopt” page.
We continue to accept donations and to offer claw-clipping services to our alumni.

Kittens! And more kittens!
While you may not see many kittens on our “Available Cats”, let us assure you that we have quite a few kittens available for adoption, and more will be ready soon! It can be hard to keep up with individual kitten website postings, so please excuse us for not having individual posts. If you’re interested in adopting a kitten (or two), we can help!
Get a head-start on the adoption process by submitting an application here, and then come in to meet kittens during our public hours. Note that visitors who have submitted applications are prioritized for entrance; others may need to wait to enter, to avoid stressing cats and kittens by having too many visitors in the building at once.
Note that kittens in this collage are a representative sample; these particular kittens may or may not be available for adoption when you visit.
Ways to Help
WE BELIEVE THAT CATS OF EVERY AGE, HEALTH CONDITION, AND TEMPERAMENT DESERVE A LOVING HOME. PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS MISSION.
DONATE
The Cat House is funded by donations and adoption fees. Adoption fees don’t even cover our vet bills, so we rely on donations to keep our doors open.
VOLUNTEER
The Cat House is staffed and managed by volunteers. With a wide variety of tasks available, there’s sure to be something that interests you and will suit your schedule.
SHOP AND DINE
You can help The Cat House at no cost to yourself, while doing things you do every day – shop, dine, and search.
WISH LIST
It takes a lot of supplies and equipment to care for the 150+ cats and kittens in our adoption and shelter facility and foster homes. See a list of some of them on our wish list.
Donations Needed
Inflation and supply chain issues are impacting The Cat House, along with everyone. Wet/canned food has been especially difficult to obtain. Cat litter (unscented, non-clumping) has also been hard to find at times. All donations are welcome, whether supplies or financial! Click the link below to see different ways you can help the cats. Thanks for your support!

It is a comprehensive, ongoing program in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians.
