cat shelters

Stray housing facilities

Cat shelters are facilities that house and care for cats awaiting adoption, typically operated by animal rescue organizations or municipalities.

They range from traditional buildings with cages to foster networks where cats stay in private homes.

We adopted our tabby from a local cat shelter.

The term also applies to outdoor structures providing feral cats protection from weather.
