June is Adopt-a-Shelter Cat Month and in celebration, Petfinder.com and The Refined Feline have paired up to offer your favorite shelter a $1300 designer cat furniture makeover. The Refined Feline will donate a selection of cat towers and litter boxes to the most deserving shelter, so their adoptees and adopters can both enjoy a stylish meet-and-greet environment.
How to enter:
- Make sure the shelter is a member of Petfinder.com.
- Email a current photo of the shelter’s cat room, the group name and shelter ID, and the reason why the cat room needs a makeover in 200 words or less to sara@petfinder.com.
All entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. EST, June 30.
One lucky shelter will be chosen to have their cat room transformed into a stylish haven for hopeful adoptees. For more information about the Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month makeover contest, visit Petfinder.com.

I know that whichever shelter wins will benefit from this generous offer. And so will cats.

I’ve helped Fixnation.org, a non-profit to fix feral cats, make little things for their organization to help where i can. BEST FRIENDS animal Society has an office within Fixnation.org. They together seem like a power house of help for our loved felines. They all moved into this facility about a year ago or so and still are settling in I think a make over would be awesome.

What a thoughtful gift for the underfunded shelters of the country to be eligible to win a makeover from Petfinder.com and The Refined Feline. I hope the most deserving shelter wins!!

I would try to find a shelter that is no kill and is not taking in millions of dollars like Best Friends does. Last year BF recieved over 38 million dollars in donations. They probably do more than most animal welfare orgs out there but I don’t think one their size should enter these contests. I personally hope a smaller shelter or rescue group will win!

Although the time limit has expired, would just like to leave a note. As a tiny (one-person) 501(c)(3) rescue, it’s true that the big organizations can do more (and it’s great that they can) but it’s because they have dedicated volunteers, perhaps paid staff, and far more assets including time than do the smaller under-staffed (if staffed at all) who, like Kitty Rescue, works full time to support the shelter where 99.9% of the funding comes out of a personal wallet. It makes my heart smile to see a tiny struggling shelter get rewarded for putting their money (what there is) where their heart is. ‘Tain’t easy.
