The Cat House
Our Mission
The Cat House is a dedicated, no-kill shelter and adoption facility committed to providing a safe, loving environment for cats of every age, health condition, and temperament until they find their permanent homes. We believe every cat deserves a second chance and a life filled with care and compassion.
Our History
Founded in 1998 by a group of passionate cat lovers, The Cat House was created to address the urgent need for feline rescue and adoption resources in Lincoln, Nebraska. Over the past two decades, we have evolved from a small network of foster homes into a robust, volunteer-managed organization that touches the lives of hundreds of cats each year.
How We Care
We are a community-focused, volunteer-driven organization that manages both a physical shelter facility and a network of foster homes. By housing cats in cozy rooms rather than traditional cages whenever possible, we prioritize their emotional well-being and offer visitors a comfortable, interactive environment. Our commitment extends beyond our walls through an active, humane trap-neuter-return (TNR) program designed to improve the quality of life for feral cat populations throughout the region.
Finding Your Perfect Match
We believe that adopting a cat is the beginning of a beautiful partnership, and we are here to help you find the companion who fits your lifestyle perfectly. Whether you are looking for a playful kitten or a gentle senior, our volunteers are dedicated to ensuring that every cat finds a family that will cherish them for years to come. By submitting an application, you take the first step toward creating a lifelong bond with a feline friend who has been waiting just for you.
