Keanu Reeves opened the world's largest free shelter for cats and dogs (5 photos)

While some celebrities spend their exorbitant salaries on personal comfort, 61-year-old actor Keanu Reeves has made a gesture that will go down in philanthropic history. He opened the world's largest free shelter for cats and dogs, investing a staggering $100 million in the project.

Arch Haven, a shelter funded entirely by his personal funds, guarantees lifelong care and cutting-edge conditions for pets who will never be euthanized due to lack of space or funds.





Arch Haven is not just a shelter, but a high-tech complex, unparalleled in the world. Here's what makes it unique:

- Lifetime guarantees. Our main principle is that no animal will ever be euthanized due to lack of space, time, or funds for treatment.

- Comfort and technology. We've built 500 individual climate-controlled kennels and special "palaces" for cats for our pets.

- On-site medical center. A mobile veterinary hospital, equipped with an MRI machine and hydrotherapy pools, operates on site.

- Room to play. Animals can roam freely in a fenced 50-acre area.



Each shelter resident receives a personalized tag with a name personally chosen for them by Keanu Reeves.

In addition to the main facility in California, three adoption centers are planned for major cities—Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto. They are scheduled to open in 2026.





Reeves' initiative has already inspired thousands of people around the world. Just a few hours after its announcement, the project raised an additional $47 million in private donations. This proves that even one person, by doing truly great things, can unite others for a common good.
