🌟🐾 Paw-some Pick of the Day! 🐾🌟

We’re shining the spotlight on our pets with something special: each day, one amazing pet will be featured as our Paw-some Pick of the Day — and for that day only, their adoption fee is waived!

👉Saturday, September 19th's ...Paw-some Pick is Mama Jean A0061549103!

Mama Jean is a 2-year-old girl weighing 7 pounds who has been waiting patiently at Winnebago County Animal Services since August 13th. She came to us as a stray and, unfortunately, was never reclaimed. Now this sweet little lady is ready for a fresh start and a family of her own!

Mama Jean has been waiting long enough, and we’d love to see her trading her shelter kennel for a cozy home. At just 2 years old, she has plenty of life and love ahead of her and is ready to find the people who will make her part of the family.

If you think Mama Jean could be your girl, come meet her! She’s been waiting for someone to choose her.🐱🐶✨

🚨🐱 EMPTY THE SHELTERS UPDATE — WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP! 🐱🚨

Today was the first day of the BISSELL Pet Foundation's Empty the Shelters event, and while we're grateful for every adopter who came in, we've only had 6 cat adoptions so far.

Cats and kittens... like Cleo, pictured below, are still hopeful their forever family is coming for them!

Unfortunately, our cat population remains extremely high. We currently have over 100 cats in our care, and we are still running out of open cat enclosures. Every adoption helps us create space for the cats and kittens that continue to arrive at our shelter.

💙 Thanks to the BISSELL Pet Foundation sponsoring adoption fees, you can adopt for:

🐾 Adult Cats: $5

🐾 Kittens: $30

The cats in our care come in all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether you're looking for a playful kitten, a cuddly lap cat, a pair of best friends, or a calm companion, we have so many wonderful cats waiting for a chance.

🏠 Just one adoption can make a difference.

🐱 One cat adopted = one open enclosure for another cat in need.

📢 If you've been considering adopting, please visit us this weekend. If you can't adopt, sharing this post can help us reach someone who can.

Our staff, volunteers, fosters, and most importantly our cats would greatly appreciate your support. Let's help more cats find loving homes and create the space we urgently need.

❤️ Please share and help us spread the word!

👀🚨Do you know any of these dogs?🚨👀

Can you help us find their families? Each animal's Intake Date & Location Found is include in their photo's caption.

👉If you believe one of these dogs is yours, please call us at 815-319-4100 and one of our call ...takers can speak with you about next steps OR stop by our facility.

👉We're open today (Friday 9/18) until 5pm.

👉Some of these dogs are available for preselect adoption, which means that although the dog is still on their stray hold period and awaiting reclaim by their owner, an interested adopter is able to complete an adoption application and pay the fee to pre-select the animal for adoption. If the dog is not reclaimed, the adoption is finalized and the dog can go home as soon as they're spayed/neutered.

🌟🐾 Paw-some Pick of the Day! 🐾🌟

We’re shining the spotlight on our pets with something special: each day, one amazing pet will be featured as our Paw-some Pick of the Day — and for that day only, their adoption fee is waived!

👉Friday, September 18th's ...Paw-some Pick is CoCo A0061494506 !

Coco is a sweet 3-year-old girl weighing 10 pounds who is ready to find a family of her own!
Coco came to us as a stray and, while in our care, was involved in a bite incident with a volunteer who was petting her. The bite resulted in three puncture wounds, and Coco subsequently completed her required quarantine period here at WCAS.
Once her quarantine was complete, our team spent time getting to know Coco and discovered that there is much more to this girl than that one moment. While in quarantine, Coco was noted to be very friendly, attention-seeking, and vocal. She was easy to clean and generally easy to handle within the parameters of her quarantine care.
Coco is now ready to leave quarantine behind and begin the search for her forever home. As with any adoption, we encourage potential adopters to talk with our team about Coco's history and needs so we can help ensure the right match.
Due to their long time search for a forever home they’re part of the "Lonely Hearts Club" meaning half of their adoption fee has been covered by the WCAS Auxiliary!
If you're looking for a friendly, expressive feline companion who isn't shy about asking for attention, come meet Coco!🐱🐶✨

✨🙏It's Wishlist Wednesday! 🙏✨

...WE’RE GOING OLD SCHOOL! 🎶📻🎵
We’re looking for working boom boxes for this week’s Wishlist Wednesday!

We’re getting ready to start playing music in all of our dog and cat rooms to help create a more comfortable ...and enriching environment for the animals while they’re in our care.
Due to room setup and logistics, and after giving it quite a bit of thought, we’ve decided to take it back to the days of a good old-fashioned boom boxes.

📻 WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
• Working boom boxes
• Small radios/CD players that can be plugged in

It may be an old-school request, but these players will help us make our shelter a more comfortable place for the animals who are waiting for their forever homes.
