Tongue Out Tuesday brought to you by Romeo 😛

Romeo is a beloved boy with a special place in our hearts. He’s come so far since he’s been at WAHS (almost one year ago!), and he awaits an experienced dog owner to guide him through the next phase of life.

Romeo’s detailed story, personality notes, and what he needs in an adopted home are all available on winonahumane.org/dogs/romeo. Give it a read and if you or someone you know matches Romeo’s dream home, fill out an application to get the conversation started!

Thank you SO much to everyone who generously donated during the September campaign at Winona Feed, Seed & More! These large bags solved an immediate need and they’ll feed our adult animals for quite a while, bringing a great sense of relief.

We also extend our sincere gratitude to the Feed & Seed team for their work to make this drive happen, for selecting WAHS as the recipient, and for their steady dedication to create community connections. They are simply the best pet store around 🫶🐾

Over $350 raised!
Over 300 pounds of food!
Every one of you who donated towards the Food Drive made such a huge impact. They just used the last bit of their cat food before picking up the donation (that's 8 big bags of cat food stacked there)!

The kitties and pups at Winona Area Humane Society thank you all tremendously!

Attending, donating, and showing support for our biggest fundraiser of the year directly helps the animals in our care like the neonatal kittens we shared yesterday (still seeking a foster placement!), and the next ones waiting in line. Contribute bidding items if you're able, and get your tickets to join us on the 6th! Your assistance provides a safe place for the most vulnerable pets to land.

Seeking a special bottle baby foster home! 🐈

These three itty bitty kittens need someone to be their hero. They arrived after the tragic death of their mom, and their survival depends on round-the-clock care that a bottle baby foster home provides. This includes feeding every two to three hours, helping them go to the bathroom, and monitoring their progress.

What makes their placement a bit more challenging is that they were just confirmed to have ringworm, a fungal infection of the skin. With kittens this young, treatment options are limited to medicated baths until they’re old enough to receive liquid medication.

The type of foster we seek is someone with a spare bathroom or bedroom where these littles could remain fully separated, or someone without pets. While ringworm is contagious, it is easily manageable with a proper setup and regular cleaning.

We know this is a big ask and a more significant commitment than the usual fostering experience…but there are three little ones depending on us to try and find that very special someone.

Taking in this group will be like a full-time job for a few weeks – but you’ll have tiny cheerleaders encouraging you the whole way. Fostering supplies, veterinary care, and medical treatments are all provided by WAHS.

If you’re open to a conversation about what this lifesaving challenge entails, please give us a call at 507-452-3135 during open hours, email [email protected], or fill out the foster form on winonahumane.org/fostering. Kitten Lady is an expert in the field and has great information on kittenlady.org/ringworm.

From all of us and the neonatal kittens whose lives will be forever changed by a few weeks of dedication – thank you for your consideration.

If you can’t foster, please share to spread the word!
