My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Oh JOEY!!!!!

Cauliflower ear: also know as aural hematoma, is a condition where the ear flap (pinna) becomes swollen and deformed, resembling a cauliflower. It is common in cats, particularly those with ear infections or trauma. Stray cats that spend time outdoors are more at risk for hematomas and cauliflower ear.

Joey is a ham! He loves attention and loves, loves to talk. If he thinks he is not getting enough attention, he will let you know how he feels. He is a special boy who deserves an amazing second half of his life. Joey’s former family had to move and couldn’t take him with them, so he has been making himself at home at Animal Welfare Wisconsin. Joey gets to roam during the day; he loves hiding up high and looking down at all his pheasants.

Joey is an 8.5-year-old short-haired tuxedo with bright gold eyes. He has a cauliflower right ear, but trust me, he has great hearing. Joey is a BIG TALKER! He loves to hear himself, and he will talk till you respond to him. Joey is also known for his aggressive headbutts. He doesn’t know his own strength. All the headbutts in the world, he does out of love!

Joey is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all his vaccinations. Joey has been with us since the middle of July; it’s been over 215 days. He would be great in a house with other cats, or he could be fine alone. Joey was the only cat in his former house, but he does great with all the cats that roam with him.

Joey would make a great roommate; he loves everyone and loves having conversations! Are you looking for an active senior who loves attention and giving headbutts? Then you have found the perfect boy, Joey!

We also have the Foster to Adopt option. This is a trial period before signing the adoption contract to see if the animal is the right fit.

Additional adoption info

We try to go through applications and reply within 24-48 hrs.

Go meet their pets

Once your application has been approved, we will disclose the private address of the Foster who has the animal you're interested in. Our hours are based on our founder's availability, but it truly depends on the foster's schedule. Our fosters are all located in northwestern Wisconsin, and Shelli can be present if requested or she is available if the foster isn't herself.
