My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Basil is a delightful and handsome tabby with a warm heart and a friendly demeanor. His classic stripes, white socks, and bright, engaging eyes perfectly complement his sweet personality. Basil is looking for a loving home where he can share his affection and playful spirit with his new family. Basil is the ultimate social butterfly. He loves meeting new people and is always ready to make friends with everyone he meets. His easygoing nature makes him a great companion for both humans and other pets.

Basil has a big heart and is incredibly affectionate. He enjoys being close to his humans, whether it's snuggling on the couch or getting some gentle pets and head scratches. Basil is just happy to be wherever you are! He has a very enthusiastic purr and will make sure everyone knows how much he loves them.

Basil would thrive in a home where he can receive plenty of love, attention, and playtime. He's adaptable and will fit well into a variety of households, whether you're a single individual, a couple, or a family with children. Basil is sure to become a cherished member of any family!

More about this rescue

Shelter From the Storm Animal Rescue, Inc. was form in 2005 by Allison Davies in response to the overwhelming amount of animals being euthanized in area shelters. Shelter From The Storm is an all breed cat and dog rescue and focuses on alleviating overcrowding in shelters and helping adoptable/treatable animals.

Many of our pets are placed into a home environment with a suitable foster home. Here they begin basic training, receive socialization, and learn what it's like to live in a home. We also attend to their medical needs including vaccinations, heartworm testing, feline leukemia/FIV testing, deworming, and flea/tick prevention.

In 2008, in furtherance of its mission, Spay Me! Clinic (now Wisconsin Community Veterinary Center) was opened. At the beginning, surgeries were performed once a week and gradually expanded to six days a week by the end of 2009.

Wisconsin Community Veterinary Center is open to the public, but also extends a helping hand to other rescues and shelters by offering spay/neuter services at a lower cost. Our veterinarians and staff have become skilled in high volume spay/neuter procedures and continue to expand their skill set. Additional procedures have gradually been added and now include dentals, amputations, foreign object removals, and ACL repairs, to name a few.

Our mission statement:
Shelter from the Storm is a Madison, WI based non-profit, all breed dog and cat rescue whose mission is to reduce the euthanasia rate of healthy and adoptable animals and to improve the lives of companion animals. 
We do this by:
  * Finding permanent home for animals in need  
* Providing support to communities who do not have
access to humane organizations
  * Educating the public on responsible pet ownership  
 * Providing access to affordable spay, neuter and
veterinary care.
