Adoptable cat Binx just reviewed the auction results and she cannot believe her eyes - we met our fundraising goal!!! A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who donated, shopped, and shared our Facebook posts. It takes a village to rescue homeless cats from euthanasia, and thanks to all of you, we will continue saving lives.

Our gorgeous adoptable Kwan would like to remind you that today is the LAST DAY to get your bids in because the OARS auction ends tonight at 8p.m. Set your phone alarm so you don't miss out on that item you've been bidding on. We had several mid-week additions to the auction and many of the baskets have current bids less than the market value of the items, so there are lots of great deals for everyone. Auction link in comments. Thank you for your support in helping kitties like Kwan while they wait for their forever homes.

OARS partners with American Animal Hospital , what a great service to offer to their clients. They are also accepting new clients if you are looking for a new Veterinary Clinic.

Exciting News for Our Clients! 🐾📞

We’re thrilled to announce an innovative new service for our valued clients: After-Hours, Weekend, and Holiday Emergency Phone Support!

With the nationwide veterinary shortage and the rising demand for extended-hours care, we wanted to provide a solution that not only supports our clients and their pets but also helps us prevent staff burnout. By partnering with a trusted virtual team of Certified Veterinary Technicians (CVTs), we can provide guidance outside of regular office hours – exclusively for existing and up-to-date clients.

This service can help you determine whether your pet needs immediate attention or if they can wait to see Dr. Bero during regular hours. This way, you can potentially avoid a costly and time-consuming trip to the referral center unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Here’s how it works:
📞 Call us after hours, on weekends, or holidays at 920-725-8522.
👩‍⚕️ A CVT from our virtual team will answer your call.
⚕️ They’ll assess your pet’s situation, provide guidance, and if needed, page the doctor for additional support.

We’re proud to be the first clinic in the Fox Valley to offer this kind of care! It’s a way to ensure peace of mind for you, comfort for your pets, and an innovative way to meet the growing need for extended-hours animal care. ❤️

✨ Help us spread the word! Share this post with your friends and family. We’re also accepting new clients at this time, so if someone you know is looking for quality care, send them our way!

📅 Reminder: With Thanksgiving approaching, our clinic will be closed for appointments on November 28th and 29th, but this emergency phone support will still be available.

Hi! We are Binx and Cleo (bonded mother and daughter), and Spicy and Timmy (bonded besties), and we just celebrated a very sad one-year anniversary. That is how long we have been waiting to find our forever homes. We were pretty nervous when we got here, but the OARS volunteers are amazing, and have worked wonders with us in getting us to feel comfortable. Some of us are a little slow to warm up, and unfortunately our initial shyness has affected our adoption prospects. Anyone who takes time to get to know us realizes how sweet and lovable we are. If you give us 15 minutes, we'll be rubbing up on you looking for pets and wanting to play. While we love OARS, it isn’t the same as having a real home and family. We have been overlooked for over a year, can you be the person or family who will give one of us pairs a home? A year is too long for kitties as sweet as us. We have so much love to give, we just need someone to give us a chance. Check out the videos of us in the comments to see how far we have come.

Happy Sunday! We are preparing for our annual online auction, our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we are looking for donations to auction off. We are a 100% volunteer-run, no-kill, and cage-free rescue with no paid employees and no state funding, so every dollar we make in our auction goes directly to the care of our cats. There are lots of ways for you to help us with our auction:

#1 Donate a themed basket
#2 Donate any new/unused items you have or are willing to purchase and we'll incorporate them into a basket
#3 Donate gift cards to local businesses (Neenah, Oshkosh, Appleton, Wisconsin)
#4 Donate gift cards to national chains (a great idea for our out-of-area followers)
#5 Ask your employer or area businesses to donate a basket or gift certificate
#6 Donate a service - mini photo session, makeup tutorial, pet portrait, singing lessons, whatever your talents are!
#7 Donate handmade crafts
8 Shop the auction. Stay tuned for the link! The auction will run from November 17th-November 23rd.
#9 Share this post!

Donations can be dropped off in the donation bin at the shelter that is checked daily or you can send a Facebook message or email us at [email protected] if you want to coordinate in-person drop off. We would like all items by November 9th.

Thank you in advance for your support and for sharing this post! The cats and kittens at OARS are very appreciative, including Cleo, Binx, Dak, Cash, and Monkey, pictured below 😺
