Residents thrive in a tranquil setting that offers plenty of cat toys, furniture, and sunny windows, in addition to human love and companionship from dedicated volunteers. We are a no-kill, minimum-cage facility that recognizes each cat’s individuality and special needs. Cages are used only for new residents until they become acclimated, or for sick or injured cats. Clowder House also provides homes for abused, neglected, and unadoptable cats as space and funds allow. Rescued cats that can be socialized are available for adoption. Clowder House Foundation, Inc. was founded in 1994 by Diane Hurwitz. A lifelong cat lover, Diane had heard of other facilities throughout the country that offered lifetime care for cats and wondered who in St. Louis would take care of her own cats if she needed such a service. And so the idea for St. Louis’ only sanctuary for domestic felines was born. A “clowder”—a group or pack of cats—sounded like the perfect name for her foundation. Diane worked tirelessly for many years securing a safe location, raising funds to construct the facility, and finally putting all the wheels in motion to open the Clowder House doors.
