Help Us Raise Funds
Join Team Tree House - Share Your Love of Cats (or Dogs!) with the World, Help Tree House, and Win Great Prizes!
Team Tree House is a community of dedicated animal lovers who are committed to raising money for Tree House while pursuing personal goals. Some Team Tree House members choose to tackle athletic feats like a marathon or mountain climbing, but there are lots of opportunities to participate, even if your interests are unrelated to sports. Once you choose your goal, you can create a unique, personalized fundraising plan to tell your friends, family, and thousands of Tree House supporters about you, your goal, and, of course, Tree House. You can update your supporters with progress reports, inspiring or funny stories, and pictures. By engaging your supporters in this way, you ensure continued donations, immense personal satisfaction, and the chance to win great prizes!

To find out if your employer participates in Community Shares of Illinois, check with your Human Resources department or whomever handles the payroll at your organization.

Recycle Your Unwanted Electronics
We participate in the Think Recycle program, which gathers unwanted cell phones, inkjets, toner cartridges and digital cameras from the community and exchanges them for money. Greentec, the company behind Think Recycle, then processes and recycles the products, diverting the electronic waste from entering local landfill sites. Click here for a list of qualifying products we can earn money for. Donations can be brought in to either of our locations.
In-kind Donations
Making monetary donations is not the only way to give to Tree House. We are always in need of in-kind items for our shelter. Check out our wish list to see which items are most helpful.
Adopt-a-Cat Scratch ‘n Bits
Scratch ‘n Bits are extremely affordable scratching pads that are the purr-fect size for shelter cages. Help our cats in isolation be more comfortable by donating these scratchers.
