Chicago's most environmentally friendly cageless no-kill cat shelter (Photos)

The city of Chicago and suburbs have many reputable animal shelters that have proven to be valuable resources to animals in need as well as to the community. However, one of these animal shelters in particular clearly stands out from the rest, the Animal Protective Association's Harmony House for Cats, a cageless and no-kill shelter. Not only is this loving shelter exclusively dedicated to providing unconditional love and quality care to cats of all ages, it is also dedicated to preserving the environment which is why this great shelter's building design has been certified Platinum LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). This means that the shelter's building has been designed to greatly reduce deadly greenhouse gas emissions and conserve energy by using a solar photovoltaic system, in addition to geo-thermal and solar panel walls.

The precious feline residents living at Harmony House for Cats generously reap the benefits of this carefully constructed green building design by having access to natural light and inhaling air that is both cleaner and healthier. This dynamic 7,085 square foot no-kill shelter is cageless and allows the cats to get exercise and live a more peaceful life as opposed to living in a cage. The shelter heavily relies on the donations from animal lovers to help pay for veterinarian care, food and litter and all other shelter housing expenses.
