OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The Oshkosh Area Humane Society says it’s operating at full capacity and is asking the public to help by adopting a cat, pair of kittens, dog, puppy or small animal this fall.
As of Nov. 1, the shelter says it has 236 cats and kittens in care, including 66 up for adoption (56 on-site and 10 at Planet Perk, an off-site adoption partner), 111 in foster care homes (including 16 who are adoptable and 34 ready for spay/neuter), and 59 more on-site waiting for spay/neuter, redemption or for space on the adoption floor. It is also caring for 34 dogs and puppies, and 20 small animals including rabbits and guinea pigs.
There is no time limit on animal stays at the Oshkosh Area Humane Society, which means the organization relies on the public to adopt animals before it is able to take more in.
You can find more information on adoption here.
If community members are unable to adopt a pet at this time, they are asked to help by sharing social media posts from the OAHS Facebook and OAHS Instagram pages. They can also print posters of available adoptable pets in community locations; PDFs of adoptable pet posters are available to download or by emailing emily@oahs.org. A countdown graphic showing pets adopted, pets awaiting adoption, and number of animals in care can also be found on the home page.
