350 Animals Looking for New Homes

Wisconsin Humane Society Inching Closer to October Goal

MILWAUKEE – Ready to open your heart to a furry feline friend? The Wisconsin & Ozaukee Humane Societies are celebrating MEOW-lo-ween in hopes of finding loving homes for three hundred and fifty cats during the month of October!

Black cats aren’t the only felines who will be getting attention this season!  Check out the great perks of adopting a cat during MEOW-lo-ween at WHS:

• All cat adopters get a chance to spin the prize wheel for free candy or prizes!
• Some cats will go home wearing festive bandanas or Soft Claws, a stylish and humane alternative to declawing. 
• Children are invited to enter a cat picture coloring contest at WHS!
• Anyone can print MEOW-lo-ween greeting cards featuring WHS cats off our website at www.wihumane.org.
• The adoption fee is waived for any cats over 1 year old! Consider providing a loving home to an adult cat who already knows the ropes, doesn’t have the kitten crazies, and will warm your lap all winter long.
