A dedicated place for cats with different needs
Greater Huntsville Humane Society opened the Ronnie Hornbuckle Haven for FIV/FeLV Feline Friends in March 2024. It provides refuge for cats diagnosed with feline immunodeficiency virus or feline leukaemia virus while they await adoption. The programme gives these cats a specific place within the organisation’s wider work for North Alabama’s homeless animals.
Reusing a building for animal care
The haven grew from a practical opportunity: the society’s thrift store moved off site in 2020, leaving a building available on the shelter campus. Fundraising and building work then turned that space towards cat care. The history explains why the haven is part of the existing shelter site rather than a separate rescue organisation.
Food support that helps families stay together
King’s Community Kitchen provides dog and cat food to low-income owners facing financial difficulty. The society also distributes food through other rescues, shelters, local organisations and community partners. This approach reaches animals already living in homes, addressing a household need before the answer necessarily becomes giving up the pet.
Foster care and accessible veterinary support
Temporary homes help young, older, injured, sick and undersocialised dogs and cats grow or recover before adoption. The society also offers recurring veterinary wellness clinics at reduced rates. These programmes serve different circumstances: fostering supports an animal’s stay in rescue, while community clinics help improve access to care for animals whose owners need support.
Practical ways to connect
Three Tails ReSale raises support through the sale of donated, gently used goods and clothing. People interested in fostering, clinics or food assistance can follow the relevant programme information. For lost or stray pets, GHHS directs enquiries to Huntsville Animal Services, distinguishing that public-service route from its own adoption, owner-surrender enquiries and community-support work.
