1. Elsa

Adult (1 year 4 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 42 mi from Oshkosh

Elsa was surrendered to us with her kitten Samantha. Both Elsa and "Sammy" are so incredibly sweet. Elsa survived with her kitten outside and she does have some small things that let us know it probably wasn't easy. Her one ear is missing the tip, at first glance you would think she had been ear-tipped at spay to identify a TNR cat, but that is not the case. We believe she may have damage from either an injury of some sort or her ear tip was damaged by frostbite over the harsh winter. As you can imagine Elsa is happy to be at our shelter, safe, warm, and always with a full belly. We are so happy Elsa survived whatever she did and also took such good care of her kitten Samantha who is perfect in every way. She was clearly a great Mama kitty who is now ready to live her own life with a loving family to help her continue to understand how to be a QUEEN. We know Elsa is a quick study and will no doubt adjust to a life of luxury. (Luxury to her will be food, a sunny window, and a warm bed....and of course a family to love her). Elsa seems appreciative to just be cared for, please consider giving this wonderful cat a second chance to have a beautiful life.

Read more about Elsa

Elsa is currently lucky enough to be hanging out in a foster home with one of our loved and long term volunteers. She reports Elsa is hilarious and acts like she has lived there forever. She is very talkative and super affectionate. She is fine with any of the other cats and does not even seem to mind her dogs. She basically just walks right past them and seems to barely notice their existence, as she is much more interested in "people". We love when our cats get spend a little time in foster as it really helps us have a window into how they would be in a home. We think Elsa could fit in almost anywhere that was willing to remember (every day) how wonderful she is!!

7. Joaquin

Kitten (5 months 10 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 47 mi from Oshkosh

Joaquin is your typical playful kitten. Loves toys and affection.
We do require kittens to be adopted in pairs to prevent SINGLE KITTEN SYNDROME unless there already a kitten or playful cat in the home.
SYMPTOMS INCLUDE: Acting like a kittenzilla, destructiveness, crying/constant meowing, scratching, biting, aggression, lack of sleep, inappropriate elimination, keeping you up at night and more.
Kittens need interaction with other kittens for healthy social development. Isolating a kitten can delay development emotionally, socially, and sometimes physically. Kittens who are able to remain with one of their littermates (or a similarly aged companion) tend to be healthier, happier, and better socialized.

Bringing a cat home to your dog

Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.

Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
