Uppsala Katthem
Uppsala Katthem is a volunteer-run non-profit, founded in 2004, that takes in up to 250 homeless cats a year. In 2025 the cat home moved to Läby. We designed and built the new site pro bono, from the first commit in December 2023 to launch in early 2025, and we host it and still look after it. The cats are the stars.

The brief
A volunteer-run cat shelter needed a new site to replace its old PyroCMS one, where the cats come first and every way to help is easy to find.
We built it pro bono, and we host it and still look after it.
What we built
Our cats
A photo grid of every cat at the shelter, filtered by sex and by whether the cat is already reserved, without reloading the page.
A page for every cat
Photos, age, where the cat is staying and whether it is reserved, with more cats to meet underneath.
Adopt
An adoption hub that walks people through booking a visit and what adopting a cat involves.
Every way to help
Volunteering, sponsoring, the monthly cat café with its own FAQ, and a shop for the cat calendar.
Sponsors
A page for the businesses that support the shelter, with their logos also on the home page.
News and the move
News posts from the shelter, such as the move to the new cat home in Läby, and a page on how to find it, with a map.
