We’re working with our friends Hester & The Hound to host a Pet Supply Drive from Nov. 17th to Jan. 31st! Please donate any new or gently used pet food / items in order to help out those in our community facing a loss in government funded programs (SNAP) or those affected by ICE involvement.

Thanks to an extremely generous donor, we now have a $25,000 MATCH for our Giving Tuesday campaign! Now is your chance to double your impact and join those who have already contributed to our mission. Donate today at givebutter.com/hhcgt2025!

Distributed some of the whistles we packed @hhforcats.org this week throughout the neighborhood.

Our hearts are heavy after our neighborhood was strongly invaded and tear-gassed earlier this morning. We do not tolerate this hate and violence brought to our city. We are opening our doors to our neighbors this Wednesday from 5:30 to 8 PM for a moment to come together, decompress, and connect.

We love telling stories like Netanya’s, a tiny tortie kitten who we was struggling at CACC so we called on one of our volunteers to foster her and get her adjusted to the good life.

We took the energy you all gave us honoring Mixtape and transferred some medical cases from @chianimalcareandcontrol in her memory. First up is Mrs Crumplebuttom. She was exposed to panleuk but all signs are showing she’s not sick so she came with us!

We said goodbye to Mixtape today 🌈 We learned that Mixtape had late stage cancer and was severely anemic. We are so thankful to our supporter who found and fostered her before she came to Harmony House so Mixtape felt compassion and love from her, our staff, and our volunteers.

LAST DAY OF CLEAR THE SHELTERS! It’s your last chance to come in and take advantage of our reduced adoption fees for any cats who have been with us for six months or longer. 📸: Romeow, Phaedra, Huggy Wuggy, Mara 📍 2914 N Elston Ave ⏰ Sunday 1-4 PM 👨‍💻 hhforcats.org/adopt

The unfortunate reality of animal rescue is that things can quickly go south when you’re working a difficult case. Sadly, that’s the result with McWhorter who unexpectedly passed while starting treatment.

Everyone, meet McWhorter - they have quite the story to tell. hhforcats.org/support-us/

Feral and behaviorally compromised cats suffer under confinement and are much happier living outdoor lives. When these cats land at CACC, they lack humane outcomes and are at risk of euthanasia. Knowing CACC faces a struggle each day with an increasing number of animals, we could no longer stand by.

Hey good lookin’ 😉 Nosey and Cozy have recovered from their surgeries and are ready for adoption! This bonded pair is looking for a home where they can be playful and adventurous while always giving you a confidence boost with a perpetual wink. Submit an application today @ hhforcats.org/adopt

6000 pounds of litter unpacked and stacked for @hhforcats.org

Nosey is doing well after his surgery! We appreciate all the donations that were made to help offset the costs of his enucleation. Cozy goes coming week for his own surgery.

I wasn't joking when I said kitten season was just around the corner! We received a message recently from a person we've rescued from before. A momma and her crew of seven kitten had landed in her yard in South Chicago in mid-March and she was looking for advice and help.

Yeah, it's my birthday. You know the drill. Working what is a second full time job isn't what I expected after being with @hhforcats.org for ten years but more and more it's obvious how needed I am. Let’s raise some money today! givebutter.com/fQ1wgZ/bradl...

Cubs, Sox, or Harmony House? ⚾️ No matter your allegiance this baseball season, come join our team! These are a few of our popular free agents looking for the right opportunity. Learn more at hhforcats.org or fill out an application if you’re interested! We’d love to share more about their stories.

We’re a week away from my birthday and just a few weeks from the TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY of when I first visited @hhforcats.org to adopt Lolita. It’s been a wild ride over those ten years. I never thought I’d be on the board, let alone president and responsible for the organization.

You all know Rosie at this point, now meet Nosey (black cat) and Cozy (tabby)! These boys are still with us as they receive treatment for their eyes; Cozy is regaining sight in his eye. hhforcats.org/support-dona...

Rescues helping rescues 🥰 We got a call from @onetailatatime.bsky.social earlier this week asking if we could use some kitten food. We said yes and picked up some today alongside our friends @catsinaction.bsky.social. We love this community and everyone we work alongside.

Real talk - I adore this cat. Yeah, she’s got some wobbles and doesn’t have any teeth. She’s been through a lot. But she’s also tenacious. She loves to join a scuffle and asserts herself. Her attitude is something we can all use right now.

What, did you think the cats would pass up a chance to celebrate Valentine’s Day? Rosie, Colette, and Scoopaloo all took a seat on Cupid’s bench hoping they’d see their perfect match visit.

And!! Can I just say! Their fur is very soft and their little chins are very scritchable!

They really are the sweetest cats!

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Karl Anderson ♥ Did you think we were all done with these after Saturday? Not a chance, these cats are looking for looooove 😉

I hope every last one of them gets loads of applicants hoping to adopt them 💗 I love this shelter and everything they do for the cats in their care and to help set up adopters for successful pet parenthood. Wonderful place run by wonderful people. 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈

So @gin-and-chthonic.bsky.social and i went to @hhforcats.org’s Felines and Valentines open house today and we met. SO MANY SWEET KITTIES 😻

Real talk, Käthe is the BENGAL. And here’s what I mean by that - you gotta have proof of past bengal experience to adopt her. She needs an owner who knows what they’re getting into and how to handle her.

S҉o҉u҉t҉h҉s҉i҉d҉e҉ ҉J҉o҉h҉n҉n҉y҉ Southside Johnny wants to let you know that this White Sox season isn’t going to be as bad as last year but he’s totally open to watching Cubs games if that’s your thing. Submit an application today at hhforcats.org/adopt to see if this crosstown lover might be right for you.

Colette was pratically running for the chance to make her own dating profile video! She would love it if you submitted an application today at hhforcats.org/adopt to come and see her!

It’s a day that ends in Y so it’s nap time for Rosie

Hey all, I know we’re often a bright spot in your feeds, sharing amazing stories about cats finding new homes or getting medical treatment for tough conditions thanks to all your support. As much as our mission is to rescue and find homes for as many cats as possible, animal rescue is political.

We've been quiet of late, lots of good things are happening at the shelter! Here's a picture of Miss Delight on her way to getting spayed.

Having a great time at yoga with cats tonight!

Let’s recreate this at the shelter.

We got one here with Beavis at the shelter!

It was as hard for me to wake up today as it was for Baby Swiss. Happy New Years from all of us!

We’ll end 2024 with the story of Chiffon, one of our tougher medical cases of the year. This beautiful girl was with us for most of the year, entering the shelter in March. We knew she’d face somewhat of an uphill battle with a large but healing burn on her back and side. hhforcats.org/eoy24

Many of you have met Rosie this year. Rosie came to us in May from CACC where she and her four kittens were being cared for after being rescued from hoarding. Rosie has been a bright spot for all of us this year as we've seen her flourish and become the outgoing, playful, and loving cat she is.

There are just three days remaining this year to make an impact and double your contribution as 2024 comes to a close! All donations are stlll being matched up to $10,000 and will help us rescue more cats like Bayberry and Bella Goth! hhforcats.org/eoy24

The work never stops. Everyone, meet Bayberry. She was dumped at our door yesterday. Super sweet, affectionate, and ready to get all the care she needs before finding her new family. Support us in our work by donating as part of our EOY drive and volunteering with us. hhforcats.org/eoy24

Colette and Rosie can’t believe all the gifts that have been dropped off this week! Rosie es especially excited for more boxes to jump around in. Thank you everyone who has donated this week!

Our staff went room to room this week to ask the cats of Harmony House what they wished for this holiday season. Swipe through to see what some of the rooms and Herman Munster are longing for! They’d love to see some surprises under their trees very soon!

ICYMI! Our president @bradleyjp.bsky.social was on @fox32chicago.bsky.social yesterday to talk about our efforts and how people can support us year-round. Thank you for the invite and we hope to be back soon!

Hell yeah! Felt great to be on @fox32chicago.bsky.social talking about @hhforcats.org and the work of other nonprofits working to make Chicago a better place and building community in the process.

It’s Friday the 13th so how could I not include Vlad! Vlad is one of our long-term cats, he’s been here since he was a kitten. Your donations help us care for cats like Vlad who never find their homes but get the love and care they deserve from us. hhforcats.org/eoy24

Hey everyone, want to take a quick moment and show your Giving Tuedsay donations at work. We believe in Chicago and prioritize helping our city. When we learned that Rescue Chicago stepped up to encourage helping CACC this week, we knew we had to do our part.
