Today is Humane PA’s 19th anniversary! We were founded Oct 14th, 2007, shortly after watching a pigeon shoot bill shot down, by powerful lobbyists. Our core belief that continues to drive us is that compassion for animals MUST CARRY REAL POLITICAL POWER- to pass stronger protections and to stop bills that would hurt them. Help us turn that compassion into action. 👉 Donate: http://bit.ly/Supporthumanepa Give $9, $19, or whatever you can. Our founder will match donations up to $1,000. Together, we can make the animal vote impossible to ignore.

Happy ! 😻 Today is Global Cat Day—a day to advocate for policies that protect all cats in our communities, raise awareness about feral cats, and promote Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). Let's support advocacy efforts for outdoor cats everywhere! Alley Cat Allies initiated National Feral Cat Day in 2001, and Global Cat Day continues this mission to improve the lives of cats worldwide. 🐾

It's that time of year to be thinking about shelter for your outside friends.

HELP KEEP OUR COMMUNITY CATS WARM THIS WINTER!

As the temperatures drop, our outdoor community cats need a safe, warm place to escape the cold, wind, rain, and snow.

You can make a BIG difference by building a simple outdoor cat shelter! You don’t need to be a carpenter or spend a lot of money. A plastic storage tote, some insulation, and STRAW can provide a lifesaving refuge for a cat trying to survive the winter.

One small shelter can make a world of difference to one little life.

If you’re handy, consider making a few shelters for the stray, feral, and abandoned cats in your neighborhood. If you’re not, share this post and encourage someone who is!

Let’s work together to give our community cats the warmth, comfort, and protection they deserve. They may live outdoors, but they still deserve kindness.

Shelter entry placement is important! 🎯

When making shelters from styrofoam boxes or totes, aim to place the opening as far to the side (left or right, your choice) as possible without compromising the side wall of the container. Also, place the opening high up, as close to the lid as possible. You want the cat to step down into the straw that you'll eventually place inside. Placing the hole high also prevents puddling rain and accumulating snow from entering the shelter and soaking the straw. Remember, you're going to fill that shelter approximately 2/3 full with loose straw. The cat should step DOWN into it, not have to make his way through it. Also, when kitty exits, he will not drag the straw out of the shelter if the hole is placed higher.

Remember to keep the entry hole small. It only needs to be 5-6" wide, or the width of kitty's whiskers. A smaller door discourages other animals (like raccoons) from entering and keeps heat inside.
