Angel and Sox's Life on the Farm

MILWAUKEE ? Angel and Sox were two of dozens of animals living on a farm. They were part of a colony of working animals until their services were no longer needed. Instead of getting a pink slip, Angel and Sox got the shock of their life ? their guardian was going to shoot them!

Luckily, a family member learned the guardian's plan to shoot little Angel and Sox, so she brought the kittens to the Wisconsin Humane Society for a second chance at life. After a thorough medical evaluation by one of WHS' veterinarians, it was discovered that both kittens had an upper respiratory infection. WHS vet staff could only guess the emotional trauma these kittens experienced during the last moments of their time spent with their guardian.

Angel and Sox spent six weeks with a loving foster parent while they recovered from their respiratory infection and gained enough weight to be deemed adoptable. Today, the kittens are alive and healthy ? this is all that matters to WHS staff. Angel and Sox are seeking a home where they can feel loved and safe from harm's way.

For more information about Angel and Sox, please call the Wisconsin Humane Society at (414) ANIMALS.  Additional information about the Wisconsin Humane Society can be obtained by visiting www.wihumane.org.
