Angel's Wish Pet Adoption and Resource Center

Angel's Wish Pet Adoption and Resource Center Visit angelswish.org to check out our adoptable animals, volunteer opportunities, and more! Why are we called Angel's Wish? Angel died that night in Lois' arms.

Lois Lawrence, a founding member of Angel's Wish, once rescued a kitten from a construction site. Weak with starvation, dehydration, and a severe upper respiratory infection, neither veterinary treatment nor Lois’ love and care could save the kitten from the effects of that hot June day. We believe that Angel's Wish would have been that no other animal be subjected to pain, suffering, abandonment or neglect.

Today, the kittens of Angel’s Wish stand in solidarity with everyone lacking Monday motivation.

🩶 Walter may be a gentle giant, but this handsome grey boy is still learning that the world can be soft and safe. He’s looking for a calm, quiet home with patient people who will let him settle in on his own timeline and show him that love doesn’t have to be rushed.

The way to Walter’s heart is simple: move slowly, give him space to warm up, and let him come to you. Once he trusts you, you’ll discover his favorite things in life are belly rubs, chin scratches, sunny window naps, and a good helping of canned food. Beneath his shy exterior is an incredibly sweet boy who truly wants connection.

Walter is FIV+, but that doesn’t stop him from living a long, happy life. He could do well with respectful cats or even a calm dog—what he really needs is a family willing to give him the patience and understanding he deserves while he blossoms into the affectionate companion he’s meant to be. Because of his FIV+ status, his adoption fee has been waived to help him find his new home faster.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, that’s just Cricket soaking in her daily head scratches and headbutts.

Life wasn’t always this easy for Cricket. She came to us from a crowded home in Chicago, and while she’s learned that she loves attention, she’s still workshopping how to ask for it. She’d be the perfect companion for anyone who doesn’t take life too seriously and can laugh with her at her loud, slightly confused meows, but also respects her boundaries when newfound attention becomes overwhelming.

At just six months old, everything is still new and exciting for Miss Cricket. She does know some things for certain, though—wet food is yummy, catnip is fun, and blankets can be great toys.

Cricket may be a bit of a “work in progress,” but we know that in the right home with the right adopter, she will blossom into a confident and loving companion.

You’re not seeing double—Blake and Docious are just that inseparable. And as part of our Forget-Me-Not club, their duo adoption fee has been reduced to $50. 🧡

This orange tabby-licious duo is a bonded pair searching for a forever home together. Docious, nearly three years old, says his life truly began when his best friend Blake was born a year ago. Since then, these two have done everything side by side, from curling up in cuddle piles to playing, grooming, and exploring together.

Both boys are incredibly sweet, social, and full of personality. They love people, but they especially love each other. Their bond gives them comfort and confidence as they adjust to new places, and it’s impossible not to smile watching them together.

Blake and Docious have been waiting longer than usual for a home, so their adoption fee has been reduced to just $50 for the pair. All they want is a happy ending, together. 🐾

Good grief! Look at how cute this Peanuts crew is.

🥜 Mama Peanut is ready for a quiet homelife with another cat. Her happy place is on a cat tree with a window view—bonus points if there’s a gentle breeze. Treats and food are the way to her heart, and she has been great at teaching her kittens her excellent house manners.

🥜 Schroeder is easygoing, handsome, and a bit of a follower of other kittens. He loves back scratches and hanging out on the couch for nap time.

🥜 Lucy is the confident sweetheart of the litter and is usually the first to try new things. She loves being held, petted, and napping in her human’s lap. So far, she’s been brave and interactive with young children.

🥜 The snuggliest of the litter is Charley, who is actually pretty confident once he’s given some time to adjust to his surroundings. He loves spending time with humans and other cats, especially when it involves treats, toys, or watching birds and squirrels.

🥜 Linus is the more timid kitten, but will still come to you for naps or back scratches. Like the rest of the kittens, he will do his best with another kitten in the home. He was diagnosed with a low-grade heart murmur, which he will most likely grow out of, but should be monitored by your vet.

These cats are available for adoption at our Verona Adoption Center every weekend.

Well, that escalated quickly! Kitten season loudly announced itself a few weeks ago, and since then, we have taken in dozens of kittens that—while extremely cute—are quickly depleting our go-to foods for our littlest kittens.

These cuties take a lot of resources to succeed, especially in their first few weeks of life. We’ve got a long road ahead of us this year, and could use all the help we can get in supporting our littlest kittens. We are continually updating our wishlist to match our current needs, but are particularly looking for:
🐱 Royal Canin Mom & Babycat
🐱 Weruva Kitten Chicken Breast Formula

Frisky’s been with us for seven months now, and by no fault of her own, is still waiting for that perfect person to walk through the door.

Week after week, she’s watched her best furry friends be picked for their happily ever after. She’s just as loving, just as playful, and just as purr-fect as any other cat she’s watched be adopted. Frisky has been one of those cats who’s watched life pass her by—she loves staring out windows, watching from the sidelines, waiting to jump into play with another cat—but now, she’s ready to start her own life, and be a part of her own family.

Frisky’s adoption fees have been waived to help her find a home that’s ready to love on her.
