Story
Sweet, talkative boy. Fixed with first set of shots and rabies. Rehoming due to behavioral issues, he doesn't get along with our other pets and attacks my daughter. He would thrive as an only pet. He plays and asks for pets. He's a good boy that needs a home that works for him.

Story
These two closely bonded one-year-old males (Tippy and Spicey) have been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and will be ready for new homes as soon as Wednesday, June 10, by which time they should be fully recovered from neutering surgery. They have had at least 6-8 months prior contact with humans and have been increasingly affectionate with me personally (one of them even loves tummy rubs!). It would be great if the adopter(s) would help some with the many costs we have run up during the rehoming process, but the amount is negotiable. Because finding the right home(s) through proper vetting is more important to us than the money.

Story
Ollie is a sweet and loving male cat. We adopted him about 2 years ago from a shelter. He enjoys naps on laps and playing with any toys he can get his paws on. He loves cuddling in bed at night and will be there with you in the morning. We are looking to find Ollie a new home with either no other pets or just cats as pets. We’ve only ever had him by himself. Weren’t not sure how well he would do with dogs. He is great with our son who is under a year so he is very tolerant of children. We noticed that our son is allergic to Ollie which is why we are looking to find him a loving home.

Story
Two cats needing a loving home . I'm a college student, I am going away for school, and unfortunately I'm unable to take them with me. I want to make sure they get a good new home, I am asking a fee of $100 FOR BOTH CATS!! not for each one, just to reassure that they go to a good responsible home. Here is a bit more info on them please reach out if you have any questions - A little over one year old- Great with kids - Good with small reserved dogs- Fine being picked up- Fine with being pet anywhere - Fine with grabbing paws and tail- Neutered and Spayed- NOT kennel trainedCaesar (The one with more white) is usually much more relaxed and less tense, he loves to lounge, play, and chase mice. He is much more vocal than his sister though, with louder meows.Celia (The darker one) is more reserved and quiet, who also likes to lounge, play, and prowl. They are both very loving though

Name: Oliver TwistBreed: DLHDOB:  3/27/2026Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location:  WIsconsin Dells, WI Adoption fee: $200 a kitten or $350 for a pair of kittens under 2 years of age. Fun Bio: Oliver Twist is a handsome short tan haired kitten with soulful amber eyes and an irresistibly hopeful expression. Named after the beloved literary character, Oliver has a gentle nature and a talent for winning hearts wherever he goes. One look at his sweet face, and it's easy to imagine him politely asking, “Please, sir, may I have some more?”—especially when treats are involved.Though modest and well-mannered, Oliver possesses a quiet determination. He approaches every challenge with curiosity, whether it's figuring out how to open a cabinet door or finding the coziest spot in the house. He may start out shy around strangers, but his affectionate personality soon shines through, earning him friends wherever he wanders.Oliver loves comfort, companionship, and the simple pleasures of life. He enjoys curling up with a favorite book, following his humans from room to room, and basking in sunbeams as if they were made just for him. Beneath his gentle demeanor is a resilient spirit that makes him both endearing and unforgettable.With his kindness, charm, and touch of old-fashioned elegance, Oliver Twist is the kind of kitten who turns every house into a home. Kittens need to hit 2 pounds (usually around 10–12 weeks old) before they can be spayed or neutered. We try to schedule their surgeries as close to that mark as possible, but of course it depends on the vet’s availability. This all has to happen before they’re ready for adoption—so once they’re fixed, they’ll be on their way to their forever homes!  If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.   We always recommend playtime, positive reinforcement training and a regular schedule for feeding times when bringing a new cat/kitten into your home. Adjustment takes time for both you and your new family member, so remember to be patient and enjoy this new and exciting time! Included in the adoption fee are age appropriate vaccinations, FeLV/FIV testing (done at 26 weeks), deworming, spay or neuter surgery, and microchip. Anti-Declawing Policy: All cats and kittens will have a no declaw policy in their adoption contract with us!   Declawing is a series of bone amputations.  Declawing is more accurately described by the term de-knuckling and is not merely the removal of the claws, as the term “declawing” implies.  In humans, fingernails grow from the skin, but in animals that hunt prey, the claws grow from the bone; therefore, the last bone is amputated so the claw cannot re-grow.  Declawing is one of the most painful, routinely performed procedures in all of veterinary medicine.  Each toe of the cat is amputated at the first joint.  Declawing a cat is equivalent in a person to amputating the entire first knuckle of every finger.  Declawing is done strictly for the benefit of the owner.  There are NO benefits to the cat and NO good reasons to declaw. Declawing can lead to behavior changes.  A declawed cat has no way to defend itself and may resort to biting more often.  Due to pain, they may stop using the litter box.  There are humane alternatives to declawing.  Cats can be trained to use scratching posts.  They should have their nails trimmed regularly.  There is double sided sticky tape that can be put on furniture to deter a cat from scratching there.  There are also nail caps called Soft Paws that are glued onto a cat's nail without harm.   ##2751127##
