Why build a Cat Sanctuary?
A Haven for FeLV/FIV+ Cats
With the GHHS thrift store moving to a new, off-site facility in 2020, it was determined that the empty on-property building would be repurposed into the cat sanctuary. Due to the age of the building, and the pertinent construction needs of making a safe and secure refuge, the costs are higher than anticipated.

GHHS is converting an on-property building that used to serve as the shelter’s thrift store. Funding will help with the build-out of the sanctuary including, but not limited to the expansion on the south side of the building, along with interior space including private enclosures and a medical exam room. The cat sanctuary will serve the entirety of North Alabama, however, GHHS hopes to offer the sanctuary to rescues and shelters across the southeast region.
