KITTENS, KITTENS, KITTENS!

We have so many adorable kittens looking for their forever homes. Some are still too young to leave and need to be spayed or neutered, but you can reserve one with an approved adoption application for when they’re ready. They’re all incredibly friendly and playful!

We also have plenty of wonderful cats over 7 months old who need loving homes—some have been here for 2 years! Come in to meet all of our cats and kittens and find your new best friend!

From now until the end of June, in celebration of National Adopt a Cat Month, we’re offering special discounted adoption fees: cats over 7 months are just $25, and kittens under 7 months are $40. This includes up-to-date vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchip, flea/tick treatment, and dewormer. You can fill out an adoption application at wiarrescue.com/adoption

The first four photos are of kittens that can be reserved but aren’t quite ready to leave yet.
These are only some of our kittens that are currently here at the rescue

At this time, we are not accepting cats or kittens due to being over capacity, but we do have a waitlist for those needing to come in.

For any questions send us a message or call 309-715-7109

PENDING ADOPTION

Meet little Rosie and Roxie, one-year-old female Shih Poo sisters who came to us as owner surrenders. They’re super friendly with everyone they meet and full of energy. They’re crate trained but still have the occasional accident in the house. They reportedly get along well with other dogs and cats. We’d love to see them adopted together since they’re siblings, but it’s not a must. Rosie is slightly bigger at 15.5 lbs, while Roxie is 11 lbs and has a darker coat. Both are up to date on vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped. They’ve also been HW tested and treated for fleas and ticks. If you’re interested in these sweet girls, please fill out an adoption application at wiarrescue.com/adoption. For any questions, call 309-715-7109 or send a message.

ADOPTED
Meet Rocket, a sweet little 1½-year-old male Havanese weighing about 11 lbs. He’s a little shy and nervous in his new surroundings but loves attention and cuddles. He gets along well with other dogs and cats and is reportedly housetrained and crate trained. Rocket came to us as an owner surrender through no fault of his own. He’s up to date on vaccinations, neutered, heartworm tested, microchipped, and treated for fleas and ticks. If you’re interested in adopting, please fill out an application at wiarrescue.com/adoption. For questions, call 309-715-7109 or send us a message.

For his 10th birthday, Oliver Hennenfent chose to ask for donations to our rescue instead of receiving presents. He and his family arrived with lots of dog and cat food, tasty treats, cozy blankets, fun toys, and so much more. A big thank you to this remarkable young man for his kindness and generosity in thinking of us and the animals we care for.

Beautiful Indy is still looking for her forever home. Her adoption fee has been sponsored, so all she needs is an approved application. She came to the rescue when her owner had to move and couldn’t bring her along. This sweet 3-year-old Aussie/Komondor mix can be a bit protective of her food and toys around other dogs, so she’d do best as the only dog in the home. Weighing about 90 pounds, she loves playing with her toys and chasing balls. She’s up to date on vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped. If you’re interested in Indy, please fill out an adoption application at wiarrescue.com/adoption, or stop by to meet her Tuesday–Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

We wanted to share an update on Elli, our sweet little puppy who was found shot in a field. She’s made an amazing recovery and is now doing great, acting just like any other happy pup. Her foster mom, Deb Shuler, decided to adopt her, and now she even has a sibling she loves to play with. We’re so grateful to everyone who came to her rescue, shared her story and donated toward her medical expenses. Thanks to generous fundraisers, we received over $500 to help cover her care. What began as a heartbreaking story has turned into a truly happy ending.

We also want to thank Becka from Warren Co Animal Control for making sure she got the medical care she needed so quickly
