It’s a very special thing to witness two souls connecting when they need each other most. Sweet N Low (now George) had just arrived when his future adopter came in to meet available cats, and their bond instantly formed. Congratulations to both of them as they settle into life together!

Black Cat Day wouldn’t be complete without a spotlight on our most distinguished senior lady: Trea! Trea is 15 years old and has been in our care for a little over 1 year now.

While she waits for that best fit family to come along, Trea’s enjoying a foster home stay where she expresses her full personality, leans into her snuggly side, curls up with her foster mom at night, and even recently took in new sights within her pet stroller!

Trea deserves all the comforts in her golden years: a pet-free home to soak up the attention, a person who welcomes a nighttime cuddlebug, and plenty of cozy lounging options.

Take a look at her bio on winonahumane.org/adopt, send in an application to meet her, or share her story with anyone who may be her safe place for life.

How can you celebrate National Black Cat Day? By sharing this post about the many adoptable black cats at WAHS! Or an even better way to show them some love for life – apply to meet one 🖤 From 3 months to 15 years old, there are numerous mini house panthers waiting to go home and they’d fit right into a wide variety of family settings.

Visit winonahumane.org/adopt for bios of all available cats, updated weekly, and submit an adoption application through our website.

Summer may have ended, but kitten season rages on. Over the last few weeks, a number of orphaned bottle babies, medically complex kitten cases, and moms with newborns have entered our foster network (thank you to every lifesaving foster home who makes this possible!), in addition to the many adoptable kittens that still await families. With a wide variety of caregiving situations happening at once, supplies are quickly dwindling – but your help could make all the difference!

To care for this kitten boom, essential support includes:

▪️ Purina Kitten Chow
▫️ KMR (Kitten Milk Replacer)
▪️ Fancy Feast Kitten
▫️ Bottle-feeding kits & Miracle Ni***es
▪️ Bleach for cleaning (not low-splash)
▫️ Monetary donations for their daily care and veterinary appointments

Our wishlists (linked in the comments) ship items directly to WAHS, or dropoffs are welcomed during business hours. A variety of donation methods are outlined on our website, which is also linked in the comments.

From the littlest among us to those who’ve been waiting for their own adoption days, thank you for your consideration!
