Remember Oyster & Kesha? 🩷

Our two special-needs kittens didn’t have the easiest start in life, but today they are thriving in their forever homes! Both have healed wonderfully and are finally getting all the love, care, and happiness they deserve. Watching them recover and grow after such heartbreaking beginnings has been one of the most rewarding experiences. We are so grateful to everyone who donated and helped cover their veterinary care. Because of people like you, we can give animals like Oyster & Kesha a second chance at the life they deserve.

Thank you for being part of their journey. We can’t wait to continue making a difference, one precious life at a time. 🐾

Happy National Cat Day! 🐈

We would like to officially introduce our shelter kitty, Karen! 🩷 Karen spent quite a bit of time at the shelter, and let’s just say… her name definitely fits her personality! 😂 Our staff fell in love with this sassy girl and decided she’s already right where she belongs. Miss Karen now gets to roam the shelter like the queen she is, soaking up all the extra love and attention from our staff. 👑

We hope everyone has a purrfect day celebrating felines. Please show us your cats in the comments, especially if you have adopted them through us! 📸😻

We have many cats waiting at our shelter for their chance at a new life. If you've been thinking about welcoming a new friend to your home, now is the perfect time because adult cats are just $10 for 2 more days! Regular adoption fees will be back November 1st. Stop in during open hours to meet any of our animals!

🐾Let's give a round of a-paws to the Oconto Area Humane Society for the great work they do in helping abandoned and homeless animals! Pictured is Lioness Treasurer, Mary Beth Rice, presenting a donation to Jack🐈 (who graciously allowed OAHS Director, Lexi, to be in the picture with him).👏

We have 2 semi-feral cats that are available for barn cat adoption.🐭

Our barn cats are fixed and vaccinated. Their adoption fee is name-your-price.
These cats are not fit to live indoors and do best outdoors, with food, water, and shelter provided by you. Working cats get very stressed in the shelter setting, so we are hoping to find a working home asap for them.

Working cats typically are not friendly enough to be picked up and generally prefer to be away from people, but are familiar enough with humans to be comfortable enough to stay around your property once a shelter is established as their home. We will give you tips to acclimate them.

UPDATE - ADOPTED!
Welcome back to another Meet Me Monday! 🐾🐱

We have a very special pair to introduce today! Marah and Rio are an iconic duo here at the shelter. These sweeties love each other so much that we believe separating them would be cruel. They're a bonded pair and are looking for a home to spend the rest of their lives together!

Marah is an 8-year-old gray male, and Rio is an 8-year-old tabby female. They love food, lounging, and human affection, and they get along with other cats and kids. Sweet Rio has been feeling a little down since waiting at the shelter, and we would love to see her personality shine again in a loving home!

Please come in to meet these sweeties and give them the second chance they deserve. For the month of October, their adoption fee is just $20.

It's Senior Sunday!

Our favorite old man is still at the shelter 💔. This sweetheart was surrendered because his owner had to go to hospice. In his former home, he lived with a Chihuahua, and at the shelter, he does well with most dogs.

Chapo is about 8 years old and full of so much love. He loves snuggles and still enjoys nice walks. His favorite days at the shelter are when our amazing volunteer Richard takes him for a long morning walk! They have quickly become best friends ❤.

Chapo has been waiting in his kennel for 62 days, hoping someone will choose him. Sadly, we worry that his age and appearance are making it harder for him to find a home.

Every dog deserves a soft place to land, especially the ones who have already lost so much. Please consider opening your heart and home to Chapo. He deserves to spend his golden years surrounded by love, comfort, and a family of his own.

We are so thankful ❤️
