Lucky's Cat House is addressing the issue of homeless, abused, and abandoned cats in rural southern middle Tennessee. As the first cat-only rescue and adoption center in the region, their mission is to enhance the quality of life for these cats by providing exceptional care and securing permanent homes for them. The organization operates an adoption program, working towards reducing the population of homeless cats through adoptions and partnerships with approved rescue organizations. Additionally, Lucky's Cat House runs a Working Cat program, facilitating the safe relocation of feral cats to suitable environments.
