Homes Needed for Barn Cats

A feral cat will keep your barn rodent free for the price of daily cat food, and you'll be helping to save a life!

We have several beautiful, healthy, neutered and vaccinated feral cats that are looking for outdoor homes with a barn, shed, or other shelter.

If you would like to adopt a barn cat (or several) e-mail us at info@nevadahumanesociety.org or call 775-856-2000 ext. 200.

The Animals Need You!

Volunteering to help the animals is a great way to start off the New Year! Perhaps you would like to help by working with the animals directly. Maybe you could provide a foster home for a dog or cat or become an adoption volunteer at the shelter. On the other hand, you might prefer to help out at outreach events or offer your professional skills to help the animals. We have a whole list of volunteer opportunities. Please take a look at our volunteer application and opportunities today.
