Cat Season in Full Swing
Wisconsin Humane Society seeing dramatic increase in cats and kittens

MILWAUKEE - The Wisconsin Humane Society reports that it currently has over 300 cats in its care at the Milwaukee and Ozaukee locations, and over 100 kittens and cats are ready to go home today. The shelter has launched a promotion in which the fee for a second kitten adoption is 50% off, and fees for adult cats are entirely waived. The shelter hopes to see all 300 cats go home this month.

“It’s a great time to adopt a cat or kitten! There is an enormous variety of cats and kittens available,” says Angela Speed, director of community relations. “Not only will your adoption provide an animal a loving home, but it will open up more space for us to take in more cats and kittens.” The Milwaukee shelter is currently asking the public to call and schedule appointments for cat surrenders unless the surrender is due to an emergency.

The shelter is open Tuesday – Friday 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.; Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. See available animals (updated every 20-30 minutes) at www.wihumane.org.
