To celebrate its 125th year in 2009, the Kentucky Humane Society will be getting quite the anniversary gift. The state’s largest pet adoption agency will be doing $1.6 million in improvements to its main facility, which it hopes will better the lives of the pets housed in the shelter. Additions will include a 3,000 ft. supplement to the primary shelter, a new air ventilation system to provide isolation areas for those suffering from respiratory problems, and a cat solarium that will allow cats to have playtime with other felines.

Thus far, the Kentucky Humane Society has raised about 80% of the money they need for this project. Those looking to contribute can visit the KHS online.

Humane Societies all over the nation are also seeking to make improvements and better the lives of animals housed there. If you would like to find out what you can do to support your local organization, head to AnimalShelter.org to locate your area shelters. Or check out the t-shirts and accessories available in the National Humane Society’s store, which gives a portion of all proceeds to animal protection programs.
