Support us in helping make the American Museum Of  The House Cat a legacy for every ailurophile.  We depend on your help to make the future of this national treasure a reality.  We need financial support so that we can continue operations and inspire families and individuals on the unique and symbiotic relationship humans have enjoyed with cats since the dawn of time.

Spare Change Adds Up - Support the American Museum Of The House Cat Through RoundUp

Do You Know The Definition of Ailurophile?

 Origins are from the Greek and mean a lover of cats, also known as a cat fancier.

Cat Lovers are the HEARTBEAT of our Museum and your spare change, no matter whether you donate it virtually, in person, or through the Round Up App, makes a difference and provides funding for our Shelter Kitties as well as endowing future generations of feline enthusiasts the ability to take a walk through the history of the domesticated house cat.
