Whether you've already adopted a cat from us or are thinking about it, you know the magic that happens when a kennel door opens. A quiet paw reaches out. A soft purr says, "I trust you." That moment changes everything-for the cat, and for you.

But behind every adoption is a critical piece of infrastructure: the cat condo. And ours are failing.

For 8 years, our adoptable cats have lived in pressboard and laminate-covered kennels-materials that weren't built to withstand the daily wear of claws, cleaning, and time. Now, many are rusting, warping, and breaking down. We have a few where the doors have straight fallen off, and the manufacturer is no longer producing them or even able to help us get replacement parts to help keep our current kennels operational. When a kennel fails, many lives hang in the balance.

We're transitioning to powder- coated stainless steel cat condos-durable, hygienic, and designed to last for decades. These new condos will allow us to safely house more cats, reduce illness, and give every feline a dignified space to wait for their forever home.

What's at Stake:

Without functioning condos, we're forced to turn away cats in need-especially during peak kitten season. We have been committed the last 5 years to helping any adoptable cats from at risk shelters to bypass euthanasia and reach the ultimate success of adoption, but the space to help them is dwindling in a time where shelter intakes across the country are rising and more lives are at risk. 

Our lifesaving capacity drops with every unusable kennel.

What Stainless Steel Condos will Provide:

Safe, secure housing that won't degrade over time

Improved sanitation and airflow, reducing illness and stress

More space and visibility, helping cats show their true personalities

Increased capacity, so we help many more cats in crisis

You've already opened your heart and read this far. Now we're asking you to help us open more doors for the cats in need.

Whether it's $25 toward a latch, $100 toward a ventilation unit, or $1000 to sponsor an entire kennel, your gift builds more than a structure-it builds hope for the future. It will save lives. 

The mission of the Beatrice Humane Society is to shelter, protect and place lost and homeless companion animals in Gage County, and to be an educational resource.
