Sauk County Humane Society

With all due respect, you do not understand shelters. Your statement implies we only take in animals so they can be euthanized. That makes no sense. We are what's called an open admissions shelter which means that we take in any animal no matter how sick, injured, diseased, aggressive, or otherwise in terrible shape. No kill shelters turn those animals away. Would you have us turn those animals away? Do you want us to turn away a severely injured bird? What about a cat that's been hit by a car and is lying in the middle of the road suffering? Or a dog with a broken leg lying in the ditch at 2:00 in the morning? We will never turn those animals away. We try our best to save them...in fact, last year alone we spent over $50,000 at the emergency clinic on animals just like these. But sometimes the most humane thing we can do for those animals that are suffering greatly is to relieve their suffering. We suggest you do your research.

This cat was adopted to a different individual in 2021. The cat was trapped today by a person who was worried because the cat was outside fending for herself. If you are interested in adopting the cat you are more than welcome to fill out an application.
