💙 Two Brothers. One Bond. A Second Chance at Love. 💙

Albert and Arthur never imagined they would be looking for a new home at 9 years old. After their beloved owner passed away, these sweet brothers found themselves starting over and waiting for someone to open their heart to them.

Albert is a professional lap cat and cuddle enthusiast. He loves curling up with his favorite humans, making cozy nests in blankets, watching birds, and chasing wand toys.

Arthur is the quieter of the pair. He enjoys napping on chairs, watching "cat TV" from the window, and spending time near his people.

These boys have been together their entire lives, and they find comfort in one another as they navigate this difficult transition. That's why they are looking for a home where they can stay together.

Albert and Arthur are 9 years old, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and negative for feline leukemia and FIV. They aren't asking for much—just a soft place to land, a patient family, and the chance to spend their golden years surrounded by love once again.

Could you be the one to give these deserving brothers their happy ending? ❤️

Albert and Arthur are currently in foster care. If you are interested in meeting this purrecious pair, please give the cat adoptions team a call at (920) 424-2128 ext. 106 or email [email protected]!

🍊 BIG Sweet Loverboy Alert! 🧡

Carlisle is the handsomest boy who adores attention, being petted and playtime!

✨ Friendly, super adorable orangie
✨ Loves catnip and being silly
✨ Has lived with other cats but prefers not to share his personal space
✨ FIV positive, FeLV negative
✨ 4 years old, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped

Carlisle’s FIV status should not scare anyone away! FIV is one of the most misunderstood conditions in cats. With routine veterinary care, a healthy diet, and an indoor home, cats with FIV can live long, happy, and normal lives. Many FIV-positive cats live just as long as cats without FIV and make incredible companions.

Carlisle doesn't know that some people might overlook him because of three little letters on his medical chart. He only knows that he's waiting for someone to give him a chance. 🧡🐾

Meet this big handsome at our shelter during our public visiting hours, Tues-Fri 1-6pm or Sat 11am-3pm (no appointment needed) or contact our cat team at [email protected] or 920-424-2128 ext.106 for more info!

Because of her easygoing nature, Zahra would make a wonderful first bunny for someone looking to welcome a furry friend into their home. She's ready to find a family who will give her plenty of love, enrichment, and a cozy place to call her own.

Kolby really needs a break from the shelter 💔

This adorable boy is a sweet, sensitive soul with a face that looks like a cuddly little bear 🐻

Not long ago, he was enjoying life in a home and doing wonderfully with people. Unfortunately, he was a little too excited about the resident cats, so he had to return to the shelter.

Since coming back, Kolby has been struggling. The shelter is a hard place for this sweet, sensitive boy, and we're watching kennel stress take a toll on him.

He doesn't need much—just a quiet place where he can relax, feel safe, and remember what it's like to be loved.

Right now, we're desperately hoping someone will open their home to foster Kolby, even temporarily. A short break from the shelter could make a world of difference for him.

At 3 years old and 84 pounds, Kolby is the perfect mix of playful and affectionate. He loves toys, enjoys walks, knows his basic commands, and is happiest curled up next to his people.

He's housetrained, loyal, and has so much love to give.

Kolby would do best as the only pet in the home and is recommended for children 10+ due to some sensitivity from a past paw injury.

If you've ever thought about fostering, please consider Kolby. He doesn't need perfection—he just needs a chance to decompress, feel comfortable, and be reminded that life is more than kennel walls.

And who knows? You may just fall in love 🐾

Please help us give Kolby the break he so desperately needs – complete a foster app (link in comments)

🧸 Looking for a real-life teddy bear? Meet Bailey! 🧸

This adorable little girl looks like she stepped right out of a storybook and is ready to find a patient family to call her own.

Bailey may be shy when meeting new people, but don't let that fool you—once she trusts you, she's incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loves being close to her favorite humans. ❤️

Some of Bailey's favorite things include:
🐾 Sniffy walks where she can explore the world at her own pace
🧸 Toys, toys, and more toys!
💖 Quiet time with people she knows and loves

Bailey would do best as the only pet and with kids 10+. OAHS can provide support and guidance to help her succeed in her new home.

Bailey is 4 years old, spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She has so much love to give—she just needs someone willing to help her find her confidence. If you've got a soft spot for dogs who need a little extra patience, this teddy bear might be the perfect match for you. 🧸💕

💔 Why is beautiful Allie still waiting? 💔

For far too long, this loving little girl has watched other cats come and go while she waits patiently for someone to see just how special she is.

Allie is full of life, personality, and love. She's the kind of cat who greets you by rubbing against your legs, asking for affection and reminding you that you're her favorite person.

She has endless energy for playtime, a goofy side that will keep you smiling, and a natural talent for striking the perfect pose whenever a camera appears.

• Extremely affectionate and loves attention
• Will crawl up into your lap and purr
• Playful, energetic, and wonderfully silly
• 2 years old, spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped

Allie is also FIV-positive, and we wonder if that single detail is causing people to scroll past her. The truth is that FIV-positive cats live long, happy, healthy lives with proper care. They deserve loving homes just as much as any other cat.

Please help us share Allie's story. Her person has to be out there somewhere, and we know that when they meet her, they'll see what we've known all along: Allie is absolutely worth it. ❤️🐾
