Visit angelswish.org to check out our adoptable animals, volunteer opportunities and more! Why are we called Angel's Wish? Angel died that night in Lois' arms.
(167)

Lois Lawrence, a founding member of Angel's Wish, once rescued a kitten from a construction site. Weak with starvation, dehydration, and a severe upper respiratory infection, neither veterinary treatment nor Lois’ love and care could save the kitten from the effects of that hot June day. We believe that Angel's Wish would have been that no other animal be subjected to pain, suffering, abandonment or neglect.

🌸 Forget-Me-Not Friday: Five Fantastic Felines! 🌸

Today, we're shining the spotlight on some truly special kitties who have been waiting longer than most for their forever homes.

What makes a Forget-Me-Not?
These cats and kittens might be a bonded pair, a little shy, or living with FIV. We just can’t figure out why they’re still waiting! All of them are incredible and deserving of love. ❤️

✨ Meet this week’s Forget-Me-Nots:
🐾 Harry, Luna, and Sunny: These playful siblings (just 7 months old!) have been coming to adoption events at our Verona Adoption Center for months. They’re awesome kittens—don’t let them wait any longer!
🐾 Kris and Miranda: These sweethearts have FIV, but that’s no big deal! They’re just getting overlooked and are ready to find families who will love them for who they are. With their gentle natures, they can join families that already have a cat without FIV. With good vet care, they can live long, normal lives.

💖 Don’t let them be forgotten! Visit our Verona Adoption Center this Saturday to meet these amazing cats and give them the chance they deserve. Learn more about them on our website: https://angelswish.org/forget-me-nots/

📣 Share this post to help Harry, Luna, Sunny, Kris, and Miranda find their forever homes!

🐾✨ shoutout to our friends at Dane County Humane Society and their incredible Felines In Treatment (F.I.T.) Center! 🐱💚

These four adorable kittens came to us with a pesky fungus called ringworm. We were grateful we were able to get these four into the F.I.T. Center’s groundbreaking treatment program. And after just a few weeks, they’ve now graduated! That means they've been cured of the fungus and are now ready for adoption! 🏡

Did you know:
🌟 The F.I.T. Center launched the first-ever shelter-based ringworm treatment program in the world in 2003.
🌟 Over 1,000 cats have been cured of ringworm in their quarantined, low-stress environment. Last year, Angel's Wish has the most patients of any shelter or rescue!
🌟 This program runs almost entirely on the dedication of passionate volunteers who make sure the kitties get lots of love and attention in-between smelly lime sulfur baths to treat the fungus.

We’re so grateful for this partnership!😻

Ready to add some extra cuteness to your life? Naylor, Niles, Neddy, and Nino are ready to meet you this Saturday at our Verona Adoption Center. 💕

💛 Foster Friday Shout-Out 💛

We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to our incredible foster families. You open your hearts and homes to our most vulnerable kitties, going above and beyond to give them the care they need. From comforting critically ill kitties to making vet trips to lovingly preparing them for adoption day, your dedication knows no bounds.

While the journey can sometimes be filled with heartache, your kindness and selflessness save as many lives as we can every single day. You are the heart of our mission, and we couldn’t do this without you.

Thank you for everything you do for these precious animals. You are their heroes! 🐾

🌟 Spotlight! 🌟 Meet Calypso and Sparrow, two adorable, high-energy kittens ready to find their forever home—together! ❤️

Calypso is a beautiful, friendly girl with a playful personality and a love for cuddles. She’s happiest in your arms and can’t resist the thrill of climbing, chasing, and pouncing on her favorite toys. Her endless curiosity and love for attention make her the perfect addition to any home with other pets! 🐾

Her brother Sparrow is a handsome orange kitten with white paws and a playful, curious spirit. While he’s a little shy at first, his goofy antics and zoomies will keep you entertained for hours. He loves the company of other pets and, just like Calypso, is very motivated by treats and fun toys! 🧶

These two are bonded siblings, which means they’re happiest together and must go to the same home. If you’re ready to fill your days with double the love, fun, and purrs, Calypso and Sparrow are waiting for you! 💫

It's National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week! To all animal shelter teams out there, thank you for every ounce of dedication, resilience, and heart you put into this work. We know it’s been an incredibly challenging year in animal welfare, and your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.

A special shoutout to the amazing teams at our primary shelter partners Dane County Humane Society (DCHS) and Sauk County Humane Society (SCHS) for all you do to help so many people and animals!

DCHS, we’re so grateful for every single one of you! From your Animal Medical Services team, who tackle essential spay/neuter services and al sorts of surgeries (enucleations, amputations, dentals—you name it!), to your compassionate FIT Center, giving our “crusty” kittens a fresh start and their foster families a bit of much-needed relief. Every transfer, every call, every ounce of care you provide is deeply appreciated. Your dedication and expertise are nothing short of life-changing! 🌟

And to our partners at SCHS—thank you for entrusting us with the care of hundreds of your cats each year. Your team responds quickly to ensure even the most vulnerable intakes get to safety, like Little Sailor (pictured), often arranging transport on the very same day. You’re truly on the front lines, providing compassionate care and making sure every cat you send our way receives the vital medical attention they need before arriving. We’re inspired by your commitment and proud to work alongside you to give these animals the best chance at a brighter future.

Shelters, we’re endlessly grateful for everything you do to help animals and their people, every single day in our community. We see you and you are appreciated!

🎉 Happy and National Cat Day! 🎉

Meet Pounce and Pom Pom, two sibling kittens who bring twice the love and double the fun! Pounce, with her gorgeous gray, black, and white stripes, is soft as velvet and loves chin rubs, lap naps, and even her favorite budget-friendly toy—a q-tip she bats around like a pro. She’s not only a cuddle bug but also a fierce wrestler who can hold her own against her exuberant brother. She’s been raised with kids, big dogs, and other cats, so she’s ready for all kinds of family action!

Pom Pom, on the other hand, thinks he’s a fierce snow leopard with his big paws, giant ears, and laser-focused hunting skills! Whether he’s chasing his siblings or darting after a laser pointer, Pom Pom brings his wild side and a whole lot of joy. And when he’s done exploring, he’s all about snuggles, purring the second he’s picked up. Raised with the same family crew, Pom Pom is a fun and fearless addition to any home.

✨ Do you have more than one cat? Tell us in the comments—what’s the best part about having a pair of purring buddies? ✨

(And don't forget...spring kittens are two for the adoption fee of one through November 3!)

🌟 Thankful Thursday 🌟

Today, we’re feeling especially grateful for all of YOU—the amazing community that keeps us going, even when times are tough. ❤️ Right now, we’re over capacity and pushing hard to save as many lives as possible. With 30+ more cats and kittens arriving just this past week, we’re doing everything we can, but we need your help more than ever!

💥 Fosters, adopters, and volunteers are stepping up in incredible ways—saying “YES” to just one more foster, helping with adoptions, and going above and beyond to make room for these deserving kitties. 🏡❤️

🐾 Our special juvenile adoption rate continues, and we have so many loving cats and kittens waiting for their forever homes. Every adoption, every foster home opened means one more life saved, and one step closer to relieving the pressure we’re facing right now.

🙏 Thank you to everyone who has already said YES—to fostering, adopting, donating, and spreading the word. You are the heroes in this story, and we couldn’t do this without you.

💖 Let’s keep going! Together, we can save lives and give these sweet souls the second chance they deserve.

✨ #MondayMood: Lexi and Bella, two adorable best friends, were surrendered by the same family to a Wisconsin shelter partner. When they arrived to us, they were so nervous they hid under a blanket together! We got them ready for adoption last week with spays, vaccines, and microchips. But more importantly, they also got some patience and love. Now in foster care, these sweet girls are thriving and ready for their next adventure—finding a forever home together! 🐾💕 Could they be the perfect pair for you? Lexi is about 1 year old, and Bella is about 3. #AdoptMe #FosterSuccess #RescueCats #CatLovers

Ames is a 7-year-old black male cat who's as personable as they come. This friendly guy settled right into his foster home, showing off his playful side and winning hearts from day one. Ames loves to engage with his humans, whether it's a game of chase with a toy or curling up next to you for some quiet time. He's a sweethert and a big, lovey goofball. He will flop over for attention, purrs loudly all of the time, and is very expressive!He loves toys, and has a lot of fun with his catnip kicker toy. His easygoing nature makes him a perfect fit for almost any home, and he's ready to bring joy and companionship to his new family.

Mykonos, the gray and white kitten, is named after a Greek island, which is appropriate because she was found at Mt. Olympus Resorts & Parks in Wisconsin Dells as a baby. She was quickly transferred to Angel's Wish for special care. Mykonos is believed to have suffered a traumatic brain injury. Her foster sister Annie helped her relearn how to be a kitten, and is her forever faithful companion as they now have an inseparable bond. She may present a little different, with a bit of a head tremor, an eye twitch, and a unique gait. But she and Annie are the sweetest little girls with just the best relationship. These two have both overcome great odds to survive, as Annie was found as an itty bitty kitten all on her own. Can you open your home to these amazing girls? Angelswish.org/adopt
