Cattery Open House
2025-04-13 17:00 - 18:30 | Greenhill Humane Society, 88530 GREEN HILL RD, EUGENE, OR, 97402-9111, United States
Ever thought about volunteering or fostering at Greenhill Humane Society and love cats? Join us on Sunday, April 13th from 5 – 6:30 p.m. at Greenhill for a Cattery Open House! This will be a celebration of all the amazing work our current cattery volunteer team and foster families do for the cats and a chance for anyone who wants to learn more, possibly join the cat team, open their home to foster a cat, or just see some really cute cats and learn more.
Kitten Season is coming, and we anticipate hundreds of mama cats and kittens coming through our doors in need of help. We are actively looking for more animal lovers to join our foster family roster to provide a safe, comforting space for these kittens. Community members are encouraged to donate an item from Greenhill’s wish list. The items listed are vital supplies needed to help care for young kittens. Monetary donations are also greatly appreciated and allow Greenhill to purchase items in bulk at a discount. Gifts can be made online here. See items needed on Greenhill’s Amazon wish list here and Chewy Wish list here.
The event is open to all! There will be snacks, a chance to tour the cattery, information about our various cattery volunteer positions and foster opportunities, and more!

What does it mean to volunteer at Greenhill?
We have many different volunteer opportunities at the shelter including helping in animal care and administrative spaces. Volunteers 12-15 years in age can join the team with a parent/guardian and ages 16+ are welcome to come out on their own.
What does it mean to be a foster family with Greenhill?
Becoming a foster family enables a comfortable, temporary home for a shelter pet needing a little extra attention or time away from the shelter.
All you need is an open heart and an open home – we will provide you with all the information and materials you need! That’s right, Greenhill provides all of the supplies, including food, medication, and veterinarian consultations. Foster stays can vary from a couple of weeks to several months, depending on the animal’s needs and the foster parent’s availability. Litters vary in size. Plus, foster families have adoption dibs on most occasions if they fall in love with their foster!

About Greenhill’s Pet Pantry
We know how much our beloved pets are part of our families. They provide comfort and security to us when times are the hardest. For people and families who are struggling with housing, financial, or food insecurity, giving up their loved companion may seem like the only choice. That’s why Greenhill Humane Society runs a year-round Community Pet Pantry which provides free pet food and supplies for people and families in need.
In 2024, Greenhill distributed over 186 thousand pounds of pet food throughout Lane County.
Because our community’s need is so high, in addition to our on-site pet pantry, we have partnered with non-profits throughout Lane County to distribute food and supplies where it’s needed most. People with pets who are also receiving support from organizations like Bethel Education Foundation, Catholic Community Services, Community Sharing in Cottage Grove, Connected Lane County, Community Supported Shelters, Everyone Village, HIV Alliance, Homes for Good, Hosea Youth Services, Looking Glass, Pro-Bone-O, Reveille Foundation, Tucker’s Cupboard in Cottage Grove, and White Bird all have access to pet food and supplies provided by Greenhill’s Pet Pantry.
Additionally, with the support of United Way of Lane County, Greenhill delivers pet food and supplies directly to people with pets who are otherwise unable to access Greenhill’s location or the locations of any of our non-profit partners.
Greenhill’s Pet Pantry is truly a lifeline for people and families with pets. If you can support this program with a financial donation, please click here.
If you need help providing food or pet supplies for your furry family member, visit here, give us a call at 541-689-1503, or stop by the shelter any day between 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM.
