Like what we've done with the place? Why, thank you!

Thanks to a li'l interior decorating at the Shelby Humane Society in Alabama this past February, the shelter's felines can see and be seen. The staff installed brand new cat condos, providing the animals plenty of enrichment and increased visibility — and hopefully helping Shelby meet its 2010 goal to increase adoptions by 17%.

Jennifer Russo, Director of Development at Shelby, proudly describes the cats' new digs: "The condos have glass doors, hiding boxes, concealed litter boxes and a variety of toys. There are five different levels with connecting ramps."

So where did they find the extra real estate to house the cats? Move over, Donald Trump — the folks at Shelby had the brilliant idea of converting the vending machine area. The condos are located in a busy hallway, which gives the cats and their potential adopters plenty of interaction opportunities.

"Most of the cats really seem to enjoy lying on the VERY top level and watching everyone as they pass by," says Russo. "And they love having the extra space to jump and stretch out." Sounds like a win-win deal; the animals get the improved housing and Shelby gets the boost in adoptions numbers.
