No matter the time of the year, feral, free-roaming, and non-owned cats can struggle with finding a warm place to crash for the night—and unfortunately there are just too many of them for all of them to find safe, warm forever homes.
While spaying, neutering, and cat adoption are critical to solving the problem of feral cats long term, many cat lovers take the extra step of buying or building outdoor shelters for the free-roaming cats in their neighborhood—especially during wintertime.
Check out these outdoor shelter ideas for free-roaming cats, and get inspired to make a homeless cat’s life more comfortable and safe.
Walmart recently launched Walmart Spark Good Round Up where customers can round up their purchases to the nearest dollar and donate the change to their favorite charity.
We would love for you to choose Bond County Humane Society as your charity to receive these donations every time you shop on Walmart.com or in the Walmart app.
Your donation stays local to help temporarily homeless dogs and cats receive vet care, socialization, training, and find responsible forever homes — and every penny counts! Thank you!
🙋♂️🙋♀️ We’re looking for new volunteers to bolster morning and afternoon shifts at the pet shelter this season!

Your contribution of time and effort is greatly appreciated. Thank you for being a part of this important effort on behalf of adoptable companion animals. You are making a difference in the lives of the 200 animals that enter the shelter each year!

Don’t be a “kit-napper”! Did you know that most kittens don’t actually need rescuing? Taking kittens from their mothers can have detrimental effects. Taking newborn kittens to your local shelter should only be a last resort! Many animal shelters, including Bond County Humane Society, can’t provide the kind of around-the-clock care that kittens need. Learn more about what to do if you find kittens outside...

Bond County Humane Society is based on the core value that all animals deserve to be treated in a humane manner. Dogs and cats with no homes need temporary shelter until a permanent, loving home can be found for them. We believe that awareness and education allows animals and humans to come together, for the benefit of both.
