✨ Just for the Holidays was a HUGE success! ✨ We’ ✨ Just for the Holidays was a HUGE success! ✨

We’re thrilled that so many of our animals got a break from the stress of shelter life, time to curl up and relax, and some even found their forever families! 🏡

Not only did we have TWO foster fails, but several of our shelter pets received extended foster stays past the holidays! 🐾❤️

While Just for the Holidays fostering has wrapped up, you can still start the new year off right by welcoming a foster pet into your home. Apply today: hsdayton.org/foster

We provide all supplies and medical care, you just provide the love! 💛

❄️ Winter in the Miami Valley can be unforgiving, ❄️ Winter in the Miami Valley can be unforgiving, and for the community cats who live outdoors, finding a warm, dry place to sleep is not just about comfort, it is about survival. 🐾

A simple DIY shelter can mean the difference between a cat struggling through a freezing night or resting safely in a pocket of warmth. 🏠🐱

🛠️ How You Can Help
Building an insulated shelter is a direct way to show compassion to the cats in your neighborhood. Using simple, affordable materials like plastic bins and straw, you can create a safe, cozy space that keeps wind and snow at bay. 

You can build a shelter for a cat you see regularly or make extra shelters to donate. We will make sure donated shelters reach the community cats who need them most. ❤️

🎥 Watch the full DIY guide here: https://youtu.be/jwXhiLGeWRc

We accept completed community cat shelters and other donations during our open hours: 📅 Tuesday–Friday 1–6 pm and Saturday 12–4 pm

Every shelter helps a cat survive the cold and reminds them they are cared for. Thank you for spreading warmth this winter. ❄️🐾🧡
