The Cat House was formed in 1998 by a group of cat lovers who saw the tremendous need for additional feline rescue and adoption resources in Lincoln, Nebraska. Cats of all ages, temperaments, and health conditions have a safe home at The Cat House until the right person comes along, no matter how long that is. From our beginning as a network of foster homes, through various rented shelter facilities, to the purchase of our own home, The Cat House continues to be staffed and managed by volunteers. These hard-working, dedicated volunteers are committed to improving the lives of cats in Lincoln and the surrounding area. We care for an average of 150 cats and kittens on any given day between our shelter and adoption facility, and foster homes. As much as possible, cats are housed in cozy rooms, not confined in cages, giving visitors the opportunity to comfortably interact with the cats. The Cat House also offers a trap-neuter-return program to humanely control the population of feral cats. This program improves the quality of life for stray and feral cats and for their human neighbors, as well as reducing the number of unwanted kittens.
How to Adopt: The first step towards bringing your new best friend home is to complete an adoption application. A volunteer will call to interview you. Before or after you complete an application, you’re also welcome to meet cats and kittens at our adoption facility: 3633 “O” Street, Lincoln, Nebraska. Open Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 – 8 pm and Sunday afternoons from 1:30 – 4 pm.
