Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in New Richmond, Wisconsin

Venus arrived at GGOH with her litter mates after their momma arrived here at GGOH and we found her to be pregnant. Venus is one of our more challenging cats - she's shy and nervous around us humans but we know that she has it in her to be sweet and loving - it will just take time and patience. Due to her current social skills, our recommendation is that she not go to a home where there are young children - young ones would definitely not understand her. Over time, and once she is familiar with her new life and home, she may relinquish and be acceptable of being held (or may not), but we absolutely don't want her new life to start off on the wrong foot so please only inquire about her if you are okay with her personality type and can accept her for who she is. She's great with other cats and would make a wonderful companion to a perhaps lonely feline. Also of mention is that Venus is one of our FIP kitten warriors - she battled the beast and won. We can give you a more detailed picture of what her treatment was when you visit but just let it be known, she has a long worry-free life ahead of her. We don't like to dwell on this aspect of her care too much, but we also like to be up-front about it as we're not the kind of rescue that withholds or hides information from our prospective adopters. Everything is laid on the table so you can make an informed decision. Venus's DOB is 7/23/19. As we've said, Venus is one of our more challenging cats and even though she's had a few bumps in the road, we 100% believe she is worthy of love and acceptance and know her special someone is out there somewhere - could it be you? If you're interested in meeting Venus, we ask that you first visit our website to review our adoption process and requirements and then, to schedule an on-site appointment. www.ggohinc.com

Rita is a shy young lady who came to us from a farm where an over-population problem was imminent if help wasn't received soon. She is a curious cat, taking her time to observe new situations before approaching and investigating. She accepts pets and affection as long as you go slow; she's learning to trust and has been progressing just as we had hoped she would. Rita would be a great addition to any home as long as the new family is willing to give her time and space to acclimate at her pace. Her ideal setting, however, would be with one individual that could give her consistent attention and one where the home is somewhat quiet. She does great with other cats. Dogs are unknown as we've only observed her watching them from a comfortable distance. She loves treats - they are the key to heart! Rita really needs someone to reach out to her and let her know that she is loved and it's okay to go slow. Could that someone be you? Rita's DOB is approx. 3/24/2020. (P.S. - The photos of Rita are of her sitting in one of our internal room windows waiting for treats to be passed through to her. It's her thing. She really loves her treats!) If you'd like to meet Rita, hop over to our website @ www.ggohinc.com to review our adoption process and requirements and then schedule an appointment for a visit.

Burt joined the GGOH family after we were contacted by another rescue that was working on a farm cat over-population project - with so many in need, we couldn't say "no". Burt is a shy fella, but gentle and receptive to human attention - what he needs most is a person/family that can be consistent with their interactions with him yet give him time and space (on his terms) to adjust to a new home and environment. Burt hasn't really been around children as he tends to watch visitors from a distance but with his gentle nature, we suspect he would do fine with children over the age of 5. Well-behaved dogs don't seem to phase Burt and is totally fine with other cats. Burt came to GGOH with his siblings, Ernie, Rita & Jake. Burt's DOB is approx. 3/24/2020. (Side note, Burt's not-so-happy face is just the way this fella looks and we think it's kind of cute!) If you'd like to meet Burt to consider him for adoption, please jump to our website (www.ggohinc.com) to review our adoption policies and process and to schedule an appointment for an on-site visit.

Ernie joined the GGOH family after we were contacted by another rescue that was working on a farm cat over-population project - with so many in need, we couldn't say "no". Ernie is a shy fella, but gentle and receptive to human attention - what he needs most is a person/family that can be consistent with their interactions with him yet give him time and space (on his terms) to adjust to a new home and environment. Ernie hasn't really been around children as he tends to watch visitors from a distance and is often snuggled into his little hut, but with his gentle nature, we suspect he would do fine with children over the age of 10. Well-behaved dogs don't seem to phase Ernie and is totally fine with other cats. Burt came to GGOH with his siblings, Burt, Rita & Jake. Ernie's DOB is approx. 3/24/2020. If you'd like to meet Ernie to consider him for adoption, please jump to our website (www.ggohinc.com) to review our adoption policies and process and to schedule an appointment for an on-site visit.

Milan came to us as a stray/hitchhiker under the hood of a car. We don't know his full story, but we do know he deserves a new home and a family to call his own. Milan is shy cat that needs an adopter or family that will give him time to adjust at his own speed. He is non-aggressive when approached, just cautious and will sometimes move away if feeling uncomfortable. We know he has oodles of potential and just needs that right someone to give him a chance to shine. Milan has an approx. DOB of 12/22/2019. If you'd like to meet Milan (and gosh, we sure hope you do), please visit our website to review our adoption policy and procedure and to schedule an on-site visit.

If you'd like to meet Charlie, please read her full profile. Once you've done that and would like to move forward, we ask that you then visit our website to review our adoption process and requirements and schedule an on-site appointment. www.ggohinc.com Charlie came to GGOH as part of a local over-population farm project that we helped out with. Charlie is a spayed female with a DOB is approx. 6/20/2020. She was adopted and spent nearly a year in her adoptive home but according to the adopter, she wasn't happy there and chose to return her. Sometimes that happens and the fit just isn't right and sometimes we don't get the full story - we really don't know what transpired in that home but it doesn't matter as we always take our rescues back if it simply isn't working out. Since being brought back to us, Charlie has been a little shy with strangers, but she has settled right back into the room where a few of her friends still are. We know that it will take someone special to adopt Charlie this time, someone who doesn't push her to the level of uncomfortableness that she had prior. Perhaps someone that just wants to give a cat a good home, and is okay with whatever time it takes, even if that means that she never becomes a cuddly, pick-me-up cat and just lives a happy life in a good home. Every cat deserves that chance, don't you think? We do also believe that Charlie would be happiest in a home with another cat - either a friend from here at GGOH, or a new friend in a new home. If you think you might be able to give Charlie the home she longs for, please schedule an on-site appointment to meet her. Hopefully, you will see exactly what we see - a wonderful, beautiful, cat that is absolutely 100% deserving of love and affection.

Tookins is SUCH a sweet and loving girl! She's been friendly and social since the moment I brought her home. She likes to lay on me on the couch and sleeps next to me in bed. Also, she often touches my face so sweetly with her paw and it melts my heart. Tookins has beautiful, unique markings and very soft fur. She also does well riding in the car in a kennel. Tookins plays with toys a bit. One of her favorites is the round track with the ball and the scratching mat inside. She's also been a hoot to watch as she bats around a strip of fleece or a small stuffed mouse. Lately she's been getting the zoomies from time to time which is also pretty fun to watch! She has done well with the small dogs in the house. They don't snuggle or play much, but they're all very comfortable around each other. I also had a very shy foster kitten for a couple weeks at the start. The kitten loved Tookins, but it took her much of the time to warm up to the kitten. She preferred to roam the house with the dogs, although towards the end I'd find her laying on the futon next to the catio (where the kitten was). Tookins is carrying some extra weight, so I'm careful about measuring her food and avoiding extra treats. Our vet team also found that she has a heart murmur and some slightly abnormally-formed kidneys. Luckily both issues are very mild at the moment and not causing any problems or needing medication. However, her kidneys may put her at a higher risk for developing early renal disease. She'll need bloodwork and a urinalysis done every 6 months to monitor her kidneys so any changes can be caught and addressed right away. She'll also need yearly echocardiograms to monitor her heart, and again catch any issues early on. We understand that not all families will feel comfortable committing to these regular tests for the duration of her life, and that's ok. I know there's a perfect family out there for her that will, and I'm happy to keep loving on her till we find them. She's only two years old and deserves the best chance we can give her at a long and healthy life! Tookins- has 2 congenital abnormalities to make sure are noted. -Mild tricuspid valve insufficiency -Mild renal dysplasia She does not need any medications or special diets at this time. She should have her heart echoed again in 1 year, and possibly yearly after that. She should also have her kidney values and a urine checked every 6 months to monitor her kidneys as she is at risk for developing renal disease with her kidneys being abnormal.

Meet Ruthie! She is a beautiful calico who is curious and observant. She is smart and loves her food. She uses an automatic feeder (included) to avoid overeating. She likes to play with toys and to be close to her humans. She accepts scratches/pets, but isn't fond of laps or being picked up. She doesn't mind dogs who ignore her. Other cats make her nervous. She isn't sure if they're trying to play or attack her. Because of this and her feeding needs, she would do best in a home without other cats or small children. She uses her litter box perfectly. Ruthie is spayed and up-to-date on all vaccines.

LaFawnda is a shy but sweet girl looking for her forever home. She is spayed, up to date on distemper and rabies, and will be microchipped before going to her new home. To meet Matilda, please apply at luckypawsmidwest.org

Lola is a very sweet girl who was surrendered after her owner passed away due to cancer. She is a little shy at first, but warms up quickly and loves to cuddle.

George is a very easy going guy who would love a quiet home. His favorite thing to do is snuggle, and he looks for a lap to sit on. George was declawed by his previous owner.
