Harmony House For Cats

About

Opened in July 2012, Harmony House’s new cageless no-kill adoption center showcases our cats and kittens for adoption in Chicago’s greenest shelter. The one-story 7,085 square-foot shelter designed by Farr Associates and dbHMS, and built by Goldberg General Contracting, Inc. features three adoption playrooms, three admission rooms, four special needs suites, a medical ward, a treatment room, conference room, and two mechanical rooms that house the equipment that runs and monitors the cutting-edge technology in the new shelter. The building’s heating and cooling needs are powered by fourteen geo-thermal wells, twenty solar thermal panels, plus a solar photovoltaic system of ninety-six panels. The design is organized around a central landscaped courtyard for day-lighting and access for all shelter users, visually and physically, to nature. Cats in every room of the shelter enjoy natural light and look out at the trees and flowers surrounding the building. Harmony House’s new shelter building was certified Platinum LEED-NC on Nov 14, 2012. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a voluntary, consensus-based, market-driven program that provides third-party verification of green buildings. From individual buildings and homes, to entire neighborhoods and communities, LEED is transforming the way built environments are designed, constructed, and operated. Comprehensive and flexible, LEED addresses the entire lifecycle of a building.

Pets available

Adoption process

Beginning June 20th, Harmony House will schedule adoption appointments on Saturday and Sunday afternoons after an adoption application has been received and reviewed. No appointments can be booked on the phone. All members of the household must be present at the adoption appointment. All members of an adoption group must always wear a mask and practice social distancing from the adoption counselor and other staff members. Because infants and children under the age of two cannot wear a mask, they are not permitted in the shelter. After submitting your application, please check your email account (both Inbox and Spam folders) for questions and/or appointment updates. With more adopters than appointment times available, we are responding as quickly as we can. Thank you for your understanding.
