Over 400 Cats Have a Place to Call Home
Wisconsin Humane Society Exceeds July Adoption Goal

MILWAUKEE – When the Wisconsin Humane Society announced a goal of adopting 400 cats in July, they knew it was a tall order! Thanks to the caring communities surrounding the Wisconsin and Ozaukee Humane Societies, Sophie, a 10-month-old Bombay mix, was the 400th adoption on July 31, but not the last one of the day!

Sixteen additional cats found loving homes after Sophie, bringing the total cats adopted in July to 416 adoptions. What a purr-fect month! Her new guardians, the Gardner family of Racine, were thrilled to be going home with not only Sophie, but lots of fun prizes, too.

For information on how you can adopt, visit www.ozaukeehumane.org or www.wihumane.org or call 414-ANIMALS. The websites are updated every 30 minutes!
