Cat houses urgently needed for stray cats living in winter conditions

Sadly, it's estimated that between 60-100 million homeless cats live in the United States.* From extreme cold weather to extreme hot weather, rain and wind these cats must endure it all, help provide a safe place to go to get out of the elements. 

Help us support volunteers caring for shelter and community cats in the U.S. and around the world. Often homeless community cats prefer to be outside, and most cannot be socialized. Shelter cats yearn for comfort and warmth which these cat houses provide. Send these cash-strapped volunteer and rescue organizations the vital supplies they need to care for stray cats and to get them to safety: 

• Shelter - These sturdy, water resistant cat houses are insulated and stackable. They provide community cats with a safe and hygienic home to protect them from the elements. It offers the cats shade in the summer and shelter from wind and other extreme winter, fall and spring weather.
• Shelter & Supplies - Provide shelter and community cats with shelter plus flea and tick medication, bite guard gloves for volunteers, and two cat food/water bowls.
• Complete Comfort Kit - Give a cat house or crate, for transporting community or wild cats to safety when the elements are too dangerous to allow them to remain outdoors. This kit includes a blanket to keep them comfy, two cat bowls for food and water, and a self-warming mat.
• Warmth- Blankets and self-warming mats are some of the most requested items by animal welfare groups caring for community cats. The blankets will be used to help transport the cats to safety and as a comfort at the shelter as they wait out the weather.

Help us give these poor cats the shelter and care they deserve.

Impact Stories:

Queen Kitty Cat just appeared at our rural facility one winter day. She was very skittish and would not let us get close to her.  Days later she reappeared.  We were finally able to get her trapped and fully vetted. Because she is still very skittish with people she prefers to live outside our facility.

But we provide her a warm shelter and lots of great food. When we showed her the new little cat house she didn't even allow us time to get the house completed and the roof zipped on. She had to check it all out! Our rescue is a dog rescue so she feels, and is treated, like a queen. What a character she has become. 

Galaxy and Tigger arrived at a rescue terrified and covered in fleas. The stray cats received flea baths and were wrapped in warm blankets, thanks to your donations. They remain on flea medication and are taking comfort in the cozy blanket as the boys adjust to their new surroundings. We want to thank you for your continued support that helps improve the lives of stray cats.

North Dakota winters are brutal, but feral cats near Fargo now have a safe place to go - thanks to your support.

Generous community members who care for the cats out of their own funds were so thrilled to receive the shelters. Many were handed out, and all are in use. 

Your donations are changing the lives of stray cats, thank you! 

Milo is a community cat in Asheville, North Carolina, who is fed by a kindhearted woman. As the temperatures continue to drop, she became worried about him and the other cats. 

Thanks to your generous donations, she can provide shelter and protection for the felines near her property during harsh winter weather. She shared that Milo was using the shelter after just one day and is also getting necessary veterinary care through Asheville Humane Society. 

The shelter said, "These shelters reduce community members’ stress, support cats’ well-being, and make it easier for us to deliver essential services."

This community of cats in Ukraine are used to living outside but are taken care of by locals.

Thanks to gifts given the local community was able to provide resources for these cats and keep them safe, and fed.

Milo, a young feral cat from a colony in rural Walla Walla, was trapped during one of Blue Mountain Humane Society's targeted TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) days.

He needed surgery and vaccines. Milo recovered safely after surgery and was returned to his colony the next day.

This small intervention, when multiplied across dozens of colonies and hundreds of cats, has helped improve the health of the local feral population and reduce the burden on both rescues and shelters.

Crates were essential in transporting cats safely from the colony to humane society and clinics and back again.
