This renovation grant funded a catio adjacent to our cat-adoption room that provides free-roaming space for cats that allows them access to fresh air and sunshine. This reduces their stress, makes them more social and adoptable and helps maintain their health. We are still under construction (delayed due to other shelter renovations); however, we have several cats that will benefit from being able to free-roam and go outside as they desire. Thank you for making this possible for our shelter cats!
