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
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.To help keep this pet happy and healthy with their special dietary needs, we ask that adopters have an established veterinarian.Pet adoption sponsorship from Chester. $0 fee to adopt

Story
This Animal is NOT at UPAWSMeet Winnie! Winnie, also known as Winifred Sanderson, is an adorable, smart, loving cat. She is playful and energetic and not one to hide under the bed, she likes to be the center of attention. She has been around kids of all ages and loves them all! Winnie has a lot of `kitten energy` and we feel she would best with younger cats/kittens who can match her energy, or a home where she is an only cat but gets lots of attention. She is currently the youngest cat in our household and she has started terrorizing the older cats to get them to play with her. Winnie does not scratch things she shouldn`t or use the bathroom outside her litter box. She is a bundle of joy and just needs a home that is more her speed.To reach out about adopting Winnie, contact Danielle at dmccubbin33@gmail.com or via phone at 906-361-7573
