Is the Cat House Will a Hoax?

I've been reading a book of interesting lists and the list for strange wills mentions Jonathan Jackson. He died around 1880 and supposedly left money to establish a house for cats. They could even listen to accordion music! Found another mention of him on the web here. It's nearly verbatim with the book's entry. Was the "cat house" ever established? What are the sources of the story? I suspect that this story may be a hoax given the scant evidence and repetitions of the story. If you have pertinent info to share about him please comment.
