Help Us Create a Cat Sanctuary + Supportive Housin

🐾🏠 Help Us Create a Cat Sanctuary + Supportive Housing Home in Greeley, CO

Where people and cats heal—together.

Across Northern Colorado, people and cats are struggling at the same time.

• Individuals face housing instability, isolation, trauma, and limited income.

• Stray, feral, and abandoned cats face hunger, illness, and unsafe living conditions.

We believe there is a compassionate, innovative solution that supports both—and builds community in the process.

🌿 Our Vision

We are raising funds to purchase (or build) a large home in Greeley, Colorado that will serve as:

A Cat Sanctuary + Supportive, Affordable Housing Home

In this shared residence:

• Cats live freely in rooms and common areas — not in kennels

• Residents live in safe, stable, affordable housing

• Residents may volunteer by helping care for cats, but housing is never conditional on labor

• Additional community volunteers are welcomed

• Cats receive spay/neuter, vaccinations, food, and adoption support through partnerships with:

  • Animal Friends Alliance

  • NoCo Humane

This is a sanctuary — for animals and people.

🐱 How the Home Will Work

• Each bedroom may house:

  • 1–2 residents (depending on size)

  • 1–2 cats (bonded pairs allowed)

• Cats may sleep with residents or enjoy shared living spaces

• A dedicated intake & quarantine room ensures animal health

• Shared areas include:

  • Cat-enriched living rooms

  • Wall shelving, perches, and cozy hideaways

  • Laundry and sanitation space

• Capacity to start:

  • 6–10 residents

  • 10–20 cats

Residents are not employees.
Volunteering is optional, supportive, and community-based.

🧡 Why This Model Matters

This project:

• Reduces homelessness and housing insecurity

• Provides trauma-informed, dignity-centered housing

• Improves outcomes for stray and feral cats

• Strengthens the human–animal bond

• Builds community through shared care and compassion

• Creates pathways to healing, responsibility, and belonging

One home can save lives on both sides of the leash.

Thank you from the center of our hearts. The stray/feral cats, and people experiencing the need to recover from homelessness, and get on their feet thank you too - even if they don't yet know what we are working to build.
