As a cat lover myself, I know that the best dream is of a world in which every cat has a safe and loving home. That’s precisely what the Tree House Humane Society is striving for and why I’m such a big supporter of their mission. Today you’ll hear why this organization is so close to my heart and why you should support them too.
How is Tree House Humane Society Different?
Tree House Humane Society is not just another cat rescue — it’s a sanctuary for cats who’ve seen the unthinkable. Chicago-based, founded in 1971, this organization focuses on stray, injured and abused cats, especially those who wouldn’t have a chance elsewhere. That they are no-kill shelters and have an inventive focus on feline care make them so unique.
I recall my initial visit to their facility. It was nothing like any shelter I’d seen before. The cats didn’t squish inside wee cages, but meandered in spacious, sun-drenched rooms stuffed with climbing and viewing structures and little boxes. It was like heaven for cats, and my heart was changed by witnessing how much love was put into making a stress-free space for them.
Their Mission: One Cat at a Time
The mission of Tree House Humane Society is straightforward but fierce: to trap, spay, neuter, rehabilitate and rehome cats in need. But they go beyond that. These facilities also offer cost effective spay/neuter services, community outreach programs, and education to help reduce the long-term population of homeless cats.
One story that really struck me was one about a cat, named Milo, Milo arrived to Tree House after being found with a terrible injury. Due to the staff of veterinarians and volunteers, Milo not only survived but is living in a permanent home with a caring family. “That’s why stories like this remind me why organizations like Tree House are so important.
How You Can Help
If you’re thinking, what can I do, there are ways to get involved. You can adopt a cat (and I promise you, it’s one of the best things you’ll ever do) or donate to help support their programs or even volunteer your time. I have volunteered at Tree House myself, and it’s an experience I’ll never forget. I really love spending time with the cats, assisting with their care and seeing firsthand the difference made by their work.
(If you’re not in Chicago, you can still help by sharing this post about Tree House Humane Society.) Share their stories on social media, donate to their cause, or just discuss with your friends and family how important it is to support no-kill shelters.
Why Fi’m Always Backin’ Tree House
All of which means Tree House Humane Society isn’t just saving cats at the end of the day; they’re changing lives. Yet they’re providing cats a second opportunity and proving to the world that every life counts. I can’t recommend them highly enough, having seen their work up close.
If you love cats like I do, please visit Tree House Humane Society. No matter if you adopt, donate or volunteer, you will make a difference in the lives of these wonderful animals. With a little help, we can create a world where every cat has a place to call home.
