Visiting The Cat House and COVID-19 restrictions
Update 6/22/20: With the updated Nebraska directed health measures, the number of visitors allowed in The Cat House has been increased to 20. Visitors who have applied to adopt, been interviewed, and approved will have priority, but others may visit as space permits. If you’re interested in adopting, please see our “Adopt” page.
If you’re interested in making a donation during our public hours, donations will be accepted at the door, regardless of building occupancy at the time.
Volunteers will wear masks/fabric face coverings, to protect visitors, other volunteers, and the cats (there have been reports of cats contracting COVID-19 from humans). Mask/cloth face coverings are required as specified by the Lincoln/Lancaster County directed health measure.
Thank you for your understanding.

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.
Paw Pages Ad
The Lincoln Journal Star’s Neighborhood Extra section features a “Paws Pages” section each month. This is a great opportunity to showcase our cats in front of a large audience, but it’s not free – each advertisement costs $42 per month. Sponsoring one or more cat listings for a month or more would be a big help in finding them permanent homes. If you can sponsor a Paws Pages listing, please contact us.
Trap-Neuter-Return
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a humane method of population control to reduce the number of feral cats in the environment and improve the lives of existing cats and their human neighbors . 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.
