AS/AP Cat Shelter

AS/AP Cat Shelter AS/AP Cat (Associated Society/Animal Protection)Shelter is a private organization located in Sparta, WI. Visits by appointment. Our Mission. Adopting a Friend.
(1)

Staffed by volunteers so there is not always someone present. Beginning in 1992 as a non-profit animal rescue group, A.S./A.P. (Associated Society/Animal Protection) evolved into a no-kill, limited capacity cat shelter by 2001. Since it's inception, the independent organization has functioned solely on private donations, fundraisers, and volunteers. There is no financial support from the county, s

tate, or any other group. Our mission is to take in stray cats and kittens as space allows and find permanent, loving homes for them after they're examined by a veterinarian, FIV/Leuk tested, wormed, vaccinated, flea-treated, spayed/neutered plus treated for whatever medical conditions they arrive with-anything from respiratory infections to broken bones and gunshots wounds. We have an outreach program where we can offer some help to people with their own cats (or cats they find) depending upon our available resources. The cats housed at A.S./A.P. get a clean, warm environment with nutritious food, lots of compassionate care, and plenty of time to run, frolic, and interact with other cats and people. There is a wide variety of personalities and surely one that is just right for you. Potential adopters complete an application and are screened for the ability to provide permanent, quality care for a cat. Our staff try to match the adopter with the appropriate cat for their home, and follow-up support is available after the adoption.

🎉 Emmett is ready to share his big announcement: 🎉

💕 Wedding Bells Are Ringing at the Shelter 💕

If you follow our page, you probably already know the special bond these two share. Over the years, they have become inseparable and completely stolen our hearts.

As they’ve gotten older, their bond has only grown stronger. Clover especially looks to Emmett for comfort and confidence. Whether they’re curled up together sharing a nap or wandering side by side, they are almost always together. ❤️

So this June, we thought it would be fun to celebrate their beautiful friendship with a little “wedding” for the happy couple. 💍🐾

On their special day, a couple volunteers will be spending extra time with the shelter cats while the kitties enjoy treats, fresh catnip, cuddles, and lots of love.

If you would like to celebrate with them, donations in honor of “Emmett & Clover’s Wedding” would be greatly appreciated. Everyone who donates will receive a special thank you card from the happy couple. 💌

The shelter is currently in need of: 🐾 Science Diet Light
🐾 Science Diet Indoor 7+
🐾 Friskies canned food
🐾 Churu treats

Monetary donations, wedding cards, and gifts may be mailed to:

ASAP Cat Shelter
17628 Illiad Rd
Sparta, WI 54656

Online donations may be made here:

If donating online, please note: “Emmett & Clover’s Wedding”

To receive a special thank you card from the happy couple, please send us a private message on Facebook with your name and mailing address so we can be sure we don’t miss anyone. 💕

Two hearts. One bond. A lifetime of purrs. ❤️

🎉 Happy Tails for Catrick! 🎉

Catrick has officially found his forever home! ❤️

While his stay with us was short, this handsome boy made a lasting impression on everyone he met. With eyes as beautiful as his personality, Catrick stole hearts from the moment he arrived.

One thing was certain—Catrick always had something to say! Whether he was carrying on a conversation with the volunteers, asking for pets, or simply making his presence known, his big personality shined through every day. He approached everyone as if he had known them forever and never met a stranger.

We are so excited for this sweet boy as he begins his next chapter. While we'll miss his stories and affectionate nature, we couldn't be happier that he found a family to call his own.

Congratulations, Catrick! We wish you a lifetime of love, happiness, and plenty of people willing to listen to all your tales. 🐾❤️

🐾 Tuesday Tips: Introducing a New Cat to Your Home 🐾

Bringing home a new cat is exciting, but remember—it can be a big adjustment for both your new cat and your resident cat.

The key? Patience. ❤️

Some cats become friends quickly, while others may take weeks, months, or even up to a year to fully adjust. That's completely normal! Slow introductions help build trust and reduce stress for everyone involved.

A little hissing, growling, or uncertainty doesn't always mean things aren't working. Let your cats set the pace, celebrate the small victories, and focus on creating positive experiences.

Check out our tips below to help set your cats up for success! 🐱🐱

Have you introduced a new cat to your household? How long did it take for your cats to adjust?
