My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Felv positive

Mr. Whiskers was found trying to get in the back door of a home. The good Samaritan fed him, but could not bring him in the house. They believe he was left  behind when some people down the block moved several months earlier. He appeared to be very friendly, but had also been getting in fights with another stray cat in the area. After a visit to the vet he was thought to be between 2-3 years old. He did have a nasty ear infection which explains his mismatched ears (notice his "tail light" too). Unfortunately, he did test positive for feline leukemia. He is young and in good health now (and quite chunky). Mr. Whiskers is a very loving and well behaved boy. He loves to snuggle in bed and doesn't seem to have any interest in returning to the great outdoors. He has discovered soft, warm beds, toys, and uses the litter box. Mr. Whiskers would be perfect as an only cat (he is great lap cat). He could also be paired with another cat with the same diagnosis, but because he has to be kept isolated from the resident cats in his foster home, we do not know how he is with other cats at this time. 

Feline leukemia is not a death sentence. He can still live a long and healthy life, but it may be shorter than a non-FeLV cat (10-12 years instead of 18-20). With a good diet and vet care, he will still have many good years of companionship left for someone lucky enough to adopt him.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

A potential adopter must complete an application. It will be sent to the Board of Directors for approval. Upon approval, a home visit is done (either with or without the animal(s)). If all goes well, the animal will stay at the home. There is a two-week probationary period where either the adoptive parents or the foster parents can determine the animal should not stay. If this happens during the two weeks, adoption fees are returned. At the time of the adoption, a contract is signed. The adopter is given a full medical history, microchip information, etc. If applicable, a microchip transfer fee will be attained. The adoption fee for a kitten is $75. Any additional kitten is $25. A cat (1 - 6 years) is $40. Additional cat (1 - 6 years) is $20. Senior cats (7 and above) are $20. Puppies (up to 1 year) are $250. Dogs (1 - 6 years) are $150. Senior dogs (7 and above) are $100. Tax of 5% will be added to all adoptions within the state of Wisconsin.
