There are multiple cat rooms, all surrounded with glass, and each with a safety balcony so cats can breath fresh air whenever they wish. The cats are placed in the rooms according to age, temperament, and any health items. |

She now works full-time for Tree House Humane Society, and it was a delight to meet her and chat about CATS! I was a trifle star-struck, but Alana is such a terrific person that I got over myself quickly.
I am so very glad to have visited their new building. It's light and airy; a delight! I'd venture to say that every other cat rescue will use Tree House as their touchstone. There is a veterinarian on site, and are opening an off-the-street clinic, which will include low-cost spay and neuter. Plus, you can stop to have a cup of coffee, and visit with a select number of ready-to-adopt cats.
Folks, we cannot put an end to the overpopulation of cats in shelters and rescues by adoption alone! We need the world to understand that spay and neuter is the answer.
