Story
Dudly aka Tabby Boy If you don't remember Dudly's story he came to us 1/20/25 as a stray. His feeder was concerned that he had lost a significant amount of weight and asked if we could help. Dudly was skin and bones, covered in matted feces, had severe diarrhea, and an upper respiratory infection. We got Dudly to the vet where he was treated and neutered. At the time Dudly was very scared and seemed feral. One day I reached my hand into his kennel to get his bowl and he gave me a head bump. That's when he decided he in fact enjoyed the attention. Dudley has made great progress. He managed to clean all of the feces and matting off of him. He has doubled his weight. He is quite the talker and will let you know when he's ready to eat. If you approach him a little too fast he will hiss but if you give him a second he will start head bumping your hand and demanding to be pet. We feel Dudly is ready for his next chapter. This sweet boy deserves a home to call his own. *Dudly did test positive for FIV. He may have some occasional runny eyes and sneezing. He is estimated to be 8 years old, he is now fixed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and ready for his new home. **FIV cats can live in a home with other non-fiv cats as long as there is no fighting or deep bite wounds. We have not currently tested him with other cats or dogs. His demands : - a heated bed - plenty of wet food and churu - a cozy cubby to relax in - a quiet, calm home Based on his demeanor we think that he had a home at one point but may have either gotten lost or left behind. His feeder had been feeding him for at least 3 years. Who is willing to give this sweet boy and chance? or even possibly foster him?

Story
My name is Rylee. I was found as a stray and after a bit of time I decided I loved my human caretakers. I enjoy all of the love and attention I get from them especially Churu! I still may be a bit shy at first but if you give me some time I will show you just how sweet, goofy, and playful I really am. I was found with my sister Reese. I would love a home with her where we can run and play but I think I would also be okay in a home if there was another younger cat for me to play with. I am fixed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and come with a dose of flea prevention. My adoption fee is $125.

Story
Meet Mamba 🖤 Born in July 2024, Mamba is a striking cat with a big personality and an even bigger heart once you learn to read his cues. He can get overstimulated at times and does best when he has a quiet, separate space to retreat to and decompress. Having a space of his own helps him feel safe and secure. Once he’s had time to reset, he’s back to being his curious, playful self. Mamba has some vision issues and doesn’t see well in the dark, which makes him startle easily. He feels safest with night lights in his room and soft lighting when people are around. Because of this, he’s looking for a calm, understanding home with an experienced adopter who can respect his boundaries and provide a predictable, low-stress environment. Mamba is very affectionate and playful with other cats, but can be aggressive at times, so it’s important to recognize his cues and give him space when needed. He is also very affectionate with our dog and bonds well with people who take the time to earn his trust. He enjoys interactive toys and playtime. With patience, consistency, and the right setup, Mamba will reward you with loyalty, quiet affection, and his one-of-a-kind charm. Mamba is neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and comes with a dose of flea prevention. Medical Note: Mamba has entropion in both upper eyelids, a condition where the eyelid rolls inward and may cause irritation. He will likely need corrective surgery, once he is fully grown. We recommend an ongoing assessment with your family veterinarian as Mamba matures to determine the best timing and treatment plan. Adoption fee is $150 He is being fostered near Fort Akinson WI.

Story
Meet Pepper 🖤 Born on May1st, 2023, this quiet beauty is Pepper, a devoted mama whose kittens, Arlo and Maisie, have already found their forever home—now it’s her turn! With her expressive eyes and the softest fur you’ve ever felt, Pepper is a gentle soul who’s always observing the world around her. She’s not a lap cat—at the moment—but once she’s found her place and feels truly comfortable, that could change. Pepper takes her time getting to know you, and once you’ve earned her trust, she’ll quietly seek you out for affection. She enjoys the company of other cats and is fond of the resident dog. Because she startles easily, she’d do best in a calm, quiet home without young kids, somewhere she can feel safe and settle in at her own pace. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-key companion with a heart full of love and a wise, watchful presence, Pepper may be your perfect match. Let her come to you and you’ll discover just how special she is. Pepper is fixed, vaccinated, microchipped and ready for her furever home. Adoption fee is $100. She is being fostered in Fort Atkinson WI.
