What You’re About To See Is Far From A Crazy Cat Lady. In Fact, It’s Absolutely Awesome.

The Cat House on the Kings!

</header> Have you ever heard of the term “cat lady?” Usually this phrase has a negative connotation. Visualize a person who adopts way too many cats and ends up having too much focus on their kitties – that’s what a cat lady is typically supposed to be like. Someone with just a few cats can be called that term, but what about someone with over 700?
Lynea Lattanzio has over hundreds of cats on her property… and a dozen dogs and a handful of goats. She’s not crazy, though. She is running one of the largest lifetime adoption cat sanctuaries, The Cat House On The Kings.
Over 700 kitties live at the sanctuary.

They have also spayed and neutered 40,000+.

This sanctuary for unwanted cats is being added to daily.

Lynea didn’t want to confine the cats to a small room, so she lets them roam.

All of these cats are available for adoption.

But if new families don’t want to take them home, they can spend their life at the Cat House.

Not only is this a home for homeless cats…

And an organization that is dedicated to help control the pet overpopulation…

Without the shelter, these cats would be roaming the streets.

They wouldn’t know love.

Or regular meals.

They would have a rough life.

Oh there's a very special place in heaven for Ms. Lynea Lattanzio, I am certain!

What a wonderful place! The cats in all of the pictures look so healthy and well cared for - they have nothing to fear anymore. Best of all, each kitty knows what it means to be loved. May this safe haven continue its extraordinary work for years to come. My donation is on the way.
