How can they do that and advertise that they are a NO KILL shelter, that enrages me.

Yes, it's such a fantastic place I agree.I always go to their open house and buy my Xmas cards there, and when I used to have spare $$ it was the Tree House who got them.That's how I got my brood, in fact---I went to the Tree House to buy Xmas cards and came away (over the next 2 months, anyway!) with 6 FeLV cats.It was December 2003, and I was waiting for the volunteer on the desk to go find the cards, which I'd ordered ahead of time. It was a freezing night. I asked a young woman who had just walked in on my heels if she'd come to adopt a cat. No, she said; she'd come because she'd been feeding 7 cats in her yard since October, and now it was so bitterly cold she needed the Tree House to catch them and take them in.Well, to make a long story short, not only could the Tree House not help her or take them in----they said they were at capacity, plus they didn't go out any more to trap cats----we couldn't find any shelter in the city to take them.She was going to take them to anti-cruelty, where I knew they would almost certainly have been PTS (and now know they would definitely have done, because of their being both feral and FELV, which we didn't know at the time). (The Tree House, I'm sad to say, even if they had taken them, would not have kept them, because of the FeLV. I was told by a friend who volunteers there that they put FeLV cats to sleep.)And the rest is history!Kerry-----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: Chicagoland's Cat treehouse - Please cross postNo prob, I think it is a great idea, there are real trees in the house and some of the cats will probally just end up living the rest of their days there, it is a wonderful idea to get cats off the streets.Cherie
