we need your help

Since 2000, Cat Welfare has rescued more than 30,000 cats and kittens. We are a safety net for homeless, abused, injured, and abandoned felines in Central Ohio.

Currently, the shelter is operating at full capacity, and limited space forces us to turn away many cats that need our help.

To address existing demands, and to continue the current level of care in the foreseeable future, we have launched a $3 million Capital Campaign. Campaign funds will be used to increase the size of the shelter from 5,600 sq ft to 11,000 sq ft. .

YOU can make a difference. Support our Capital Campaign! Or download a pledge form to make an ongoing commitment to the campaign here. Do you want to learn more? Call Jenny at the shelter 614-268-6096 for a tour and more information.

OUR EXPANSION WILL PROVIDE:

DEDICATED SPACE to take in more kittens that have fragile immune systems and need to be isolated from the general population.

MORE VISITATION AREAS to allow cats and kittens one-on-one time with individuals, families, and children. This interaction is crucial for successful adoptions.

ISOLATED SPACE to respond quickly to disease outbreak, so we are not forced to euthanize at-risk cats.

MORE PROTECTED SPACE for cats with Feline Leukemia. Thanks to advances in medical treatment, these cats can live happy lives and make wonderful companions. Their compromised immune systems require separation from the general cat population.

MULTI-PURPOSE ROOMS for acclimating shy cats needing a calm, stress-free environment. Our goal is to familiarize these cats with the shelter surroundings, promote trust, and match them with a suitable home.

EDUCATIONAL SPACE for community outreach programs, cat care seminars, pet advocacy, donor and volunteer recognition.

SPACE TO STORE CRITICAL DONATIONS in a consolidated area to control inventory and reduce costs.

YOUR SUPPORT IS CRITICAL! THANK YOU!
