The Cattery Is Open for Business at Hallie Hill
This transition has been approached with care, patience, and the cats’ well-being at the center of every decision. For now, the cats are staying indoors as they settle into their surroundings. This gentle adjustment period helps keep stress low and comfort high while they learn that this new space is safe, calm, and theirs.
A Space Designed with Cats in Mind
The cattery was thoughtfully created to support both physical comfort and emotional well-being. From cozy hideaways and quiet corners to climbing areas and enrichment spaces, every detail was chosen to help cats feel secure while still encouraging curiosity and confidence.
The “catification” of the space is an ongoing process, and we are already so pleased with how it is coming together. Watching the cats explore, relax, and claim their favorite spots has been incredibly rewarding for our staff and volunteers.
Some cats have already found sunny perches to nap in. Others prefer tucked-away spaces where they can observe quietly. Each cat is adjusting in their own way, and that individuality is something we deeply respect.
Moving at Their Own Pace
Transitions can be overwhelming, especially for animals who may already have experienced uncertainty or change in their past. That is why we are allowing the cats to move at their own pace as they settle into the cattery.
There is no rush. Comfort and trust come first.
This thoughtful approach allows each cat the time they need to feel safe and confident as they wait for their forever home. It also helps ensure that when they do meet potential adopters, they are able to show their true personalities.
Gratitude for a Community That Makes It Possible
This space would not exist without the incredible support of our community. From donors and supporters to volunteers and staff, so many people played a role in bringing the cattery to life.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this milestone possible. Your generosity creates spaces where animals can heal, feel secure, and begin again.
As shared in the January Howler, this new cattery represents more than a building. It represents hope, patience, and the belief that every cat deserves a safe and loving environment while they wait for a family of their own.
More to Come
We cannot wait to continue sharing updates as the cattery grows and evolves. There is still more “catification” ahead, more stories to tell, and most importantly, more lives to be changed.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Because of you, our cats are resting a little easier and dreaming a little bigger.
