Story
Wesley is an 11-year-old neutered male who has had a difficult time adjusting to shelter life. His entire world changed—and on top of that fear and confusion, he was suffering from a severe urinary tract infection and extremely painful crystals.Cats are masters at hiding pain. Wesley didn’t feel well, he didn’t understand what was happening, and he didn’t trust that being touched was safe. When people came too close, he sometimes defended himself the only way he knew how. It was heartbreaking because underneath that fear was a hurting cat who needed compassion, not judgment.Our wonderful staff refused to give up on him. They began gently, using a little back scratcher so Wesley could experience affection from a comfortable distance. In time, they progressed to a toothbrush—and now, when someone approaches slowly and treats him with patience and kindness, Wesley allows gentle scritches on his cheeks and behind his ears. Best of all, he leans into them.For Wesley, that small lean is an enormous act of trust.Wesley doesn’t need someone who expects instant affection. He needs a gentle, patient person who will allow him to feel safe and build a relationship at his own pace. He deserves a quiet, loving home where he can finally exhale and know that he belongs.Please don’t overlook cats like Wesley. They matter deeply to all of us at UPAWS, and their lives are every bit as precious. Somewhere out there is the person who will look beyond Wesley’s difficult beginning and give this deserving senior the wonderful home he has been waiting for.

Story
* MORTY IS NOT AT UPAWS *Morty is an affectionate cat who enjoys cuddles, pets, and treats. He loves children and adults of all ages and gets along well with cats and dogs. He enjoys outdoor adventures and would be best suited for a home where he has some access to the outdoors in the warmer months.In the cooler months when he is unable to be outside he has had a history of marking. This has been managed with a daily anxiety med which completely eliminates the marking.If interested please contact Kevin at 920-544-6886 or atkins.e.kevin@gmail.com!

Story
**Meet Blitzen**Blitzen is a spayed, approximately 10-year-old lady who has already come such a long way.When Blitzen arrived at UPAWS, she was terrified and in tremendous pain from a severe bladder infection. She didn’t understand that people were trying to help her—she only knew that she hurt. It took weeks of patience, care, and gentle persistence, but Blitzen is finally feeling better and beginning to show us the cat who was hidden beneath all that fear.Blitzen still takes time to trust, but once you break through her shell, you’ll discover a wonderfully entertaining little character. She may not be the type of cat who wants to cuddle all day, but she’ll rub and bump against you, chat away, and let you know that you have officially become one of her people.She loves her toys, her scratching posts, and breathing in the fresh air from the safety of her enclosed patio. What Blitzen needs now is a quiet, understanding home where she can fully relax, settle into a comfortable routine, and build a relationship with someone at her own pace.Blitzen eats Hill’s Prescription Diet c/d food and will need to remain on this diet to support her urinary health. Thanks to a kind supporter, **there is no adoption fee for Blitzen’s approved adopter**, and she’ll go home with a generous package of her special food to help get her started.Blitzen has spent enough time feeling frightened and uncomfortable. Now she deserves the chance to feel safe, understood, and truly at home. Will you be the person who gives her that chance?Sponsored by Dan and Cindy - Blitzen is no-fee to adopt!

**Meet Seahorse**Seahorse is an approximately one-year-old boy who arrived at UPAWS as a stray from K.I. Sawyer.This gentle fellow is very timid and unsure of people, but he isn’t defensive—he simply sits quietly and watches the world around him. Seahorse needs a little TLC, a patient person, and time to discover that he is finally safe.In a calm home where he can adjust at his own pace, we believe this bashful young cat will begin to let his true personality shine.

Story
Ryan, our shelter manager, chose Krusty Krab as his Staff Pet Pick! Here’s what he shared about his buddy:“Krusty originally came to us as a very shy stray, so we set him up in my office to help him come out of his shell. It was a slow process, but he eventually started hiding less and showing off his true personality. We became great friends, and I always looked forward to taking a quick break to hang out with him!He is an incredibly affectionate guy who absolutely thrives on attention! Krusty loves pets so much that he’ll enthusiastically head-butt right into your hand for face and head scratches, usually rolling around in pure happiness while you love on him!”Thanks to Fox Marquette Subaru and the Subaru Share the Love adoption promotion, Krusty Krab has NO ADOPTION FEE!Could Krusty be your new buddy? Head to UPAWS and ask to meet him today!
