Exciting News About Our Sweet Dash!

We have the cutest little update on our darling Dash! ๐Ÿฑโค๏ธ After lots of love and care, Dashโ€™s doctors took a special CT scan of his adorable head, which gave them a good look at his sinus issues. They even took some little samples to make sure they knew exactly what was going on. The results? Dash has been diagnosed with "Chronic Rhinitis," a condition that means his nose can get inflamed and cause ongoing sniffles. While thereโ€™s no cure, we can manage his symptoms and keep him feeling comfy.

Dash has been such a brave boy through all of this! He gets his nose drops daily and handles them like a little hero. He also takes an antibiotic twice a week and might need some other meds like steroids in the future. His treatment plan is easy to follow, and we know his new family will have no trouble keeping up with it. Dashโ€™s dedication to his health is just one more reason to fall in love with him!

Weโ€™re thrilled to announce that Dash is ready for his forever home! ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ’• If you have a cozy spot in your heart for this purring bundle of joy and can continue his current care, please reach out to us. Dash is eager to bring his endless cuddles and cheerful chirps to a loving family. Could it be yours? ๐Ÿพ

We are so thankful that Santana found his forever home! Especially considering the rough road it took to get to this happy ending:

Santana was originally part of a TNRM (Trap, Neuter, Release, Monitor) project. During the "monitor" phase, it was reported that he was showing signs that he may have been poisoned. Upon checking bloodwork, it was confirmed to be true. This sweet little fighter went through 3 weeks of Vitamin K therapy to get his blood back to normal clotting. Amongst all the chaos, Santana showed that he was the most loving & trusting kitty, and was deemed the perfect patient by all his doctors ๐Ÿ™‚

This boy is off to the life he deserves!! Santana, enjoy your days of playing in the sunshine & watching out the windows for birds! ๐Ÿฑโค๏ธ

Congrats to Tootsie on his adoption!

This poor guy was originally found outside as a stray in winter. He had injuries that caused him to lose a little bit of his tail, but luckily he healed up great!

He is shy, curious, silly & affectionate - of course his new mama is in love with him already!! ๐Ÿฑโค๏ธ

Our newest kitties in the shelter are settling in just fine! ๐Ÿ˜ธ

๐Ÿ’™ Homer has moved to the climbing wall to nap & chill.
๐Ÿ’œ Marla is playful and loves ducking in and out of the tunnels.
๐Ÿ’š Tootsie is having a great time exploring! He is a lovebug!
๐Ÿ’› Ghost is enjoying all the hiding spots he can nap in. He loves to get love, but too much petting will overstimulate him, so please be mindful when petting him.
โค๏ธ Bitsy has really come out of her shell! She is very playful and affectionate.

Marla, Tootsie, and Bitsy LOVE the wand toy. If you're looking to adopt, they are all ready to find their furever homes! Stop by this week!๐Ÿพ

Exciting news - we are fresh out of kitties at the shelter! They have now all gone to their furever homes. ๐Ÿ 

We anticipate more kitties coming this weekend, so until then, our shelter will remain closed ๐Ÿ”.

We plan to reopen on Sunday, May 26 with a fresh group of adoptable cats so make sure to stop by and meet them then! ๐Ÿ˜ป

*** CALL FOR SUPPLIES *** ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿงก

We have fantastic news โ€“ our shelter is currently empty because every one of our kitties has found a forever home! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ  But our work doesnโ€™t stop there. We still have foster cats who need your help, and we're expecting a new group of adorable kitties this upcoming weekend. ๐Ÿพ

Can you help us restock our supplies to welcome these new arrivals? ๐Ÿ“ฆโœจ

Check out our Amazon Wishlist for the items we urgently need: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2ZUTO7CTBUNZU

Our biggest need right now is kitten supplies, general food, and cleaning supplies (ie., feeding nipples/kitten formula, Dawn dish soap, and Rescue).

If you stop by tonight you might wonder, โ€œwhy is there only one cat at this cat shelter?โ€
Thatโ€™s a good question and an even better problem to have - it means that everyone in our care has gone to their furever homes. โค๏ธ

More importantly it means we have lots of room to fill with new cats! They are coming soon, keep an eye out for that post.

While itโ€™s true that Kanga is the only adoptable kitty left at the shelter, she has enough cuteness and personality to go around. She would LOVE to have some visitors. Weโ€™re open tonight from 6 pm - 8 pm.

๐ŸฑDonโ€™t forget! The shelter may be (almost) empty but we have many wonderful cats currently in foster care. Please check out our website to get more information about those cats. ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there! ๐ŸŒท Whether you're a mom to humans, fur babies, or both, today is your day to be celebrated and cherished.

We also want to recognize feline moms like

We're excited to give you some long-awaited updates on Kenji & Ronnie!

Kenji is doing great and is in his 12 weeks of observation, and Nubit continues to be a supportive brother!

We have a new blog post on FIP too - check it out here, starring Kenji!

Ronnie looks like a whole new kitty - can you believe these pictures?? He completed his 12 weeks of daily injections & was approved for the 12 week observation period. During the next several weeks, he will continue to be monitored daily for any changes in his vitals or behavior. So far, he is doing wonderful! He is very playful, affectionate and feeling great!! ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ˜บ

Weโ€™ll continue to keep you all updated on these cute boys - thank you as always for your support!

Gertrude (formerly Felicity) is living life to the fullest in her new home with a cat brother named Buster & a dog sister named Lola!

Direct quote from her new mom: "Her favorite things to do are explore the house (we never get tired of watching her little wobbly head strut!), curl up for a nap in the sun, chase her spring toy under every appliance, and make lots of biscuits. We are definitely in love! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿพ"

Do you love kitties but are unable to commit to having one long term?

Maybe you have never had one and are not sure where to start or how to care for one?

Well, Almost Home Cat Rescue MKE has the solution to that! Become a FOSTER! ๐Ÿ˜ป

By opening your home to fostering an animal, you become the steppingstone to saving lives. Fostering is a critical piece to our rescue as these homes help us give a safe place for surrendered, sick, and abused cats until they are ready to be adopted or transferred to our facility.

Kitten season is around the corner and we are in CRITICAL need of available homes that can foster cats and kittens currently on our surrender list. Without these homes we cannot continue to do what we do. Almost Home is a free roam cage free facility, so all of our kitties need to begin their journey in a foster home until they are medically cleared and temperament tested.

Almost Home will provide the following to every foster:

๐Ÿพ all supplies- food, toys, beds, litter, litter pan and everything you need
๐Ÿพ we will match the kitties to the foster home want or level of experience ( senior only, kittens, adult, pregnant mom/kittens, medical)
๐Ÿพ we will schedule all vet appointments we just ask that you take the cats to our designated vet clinic
๐Ÿพ you will have access to our Medical Officer and Animal Welfare Officer for medical and behavioral questions or concerns
๐Ÿพ you can foster short term, long term or on an emergency
