ABOUT ORPHAN ANIMAL RESCUE & SANCTUARY

OUR STORY

In September 2008, OARS was founded by six animal lovers who saw the need within the Fox Cities community to save the lives of more homeless cats and set in motion the steps needed to ensure a future in which there are no more homeless felines in Wisconsin.

The cats and kittens arriving at our rescue primarily come from other local rescue groups and humane organizations when they need help or are over capacity. We pride ourselves on the high quality of care we provide to each and every animal. The cats at the Adoption Center enjoy life with views of bird feeders, sunny napping spots, and a cage-free environment. 

We have multiple cat adoption rooms where many wonderful cat personalities are eager to greet you and are hoping for a forever adoptive home. We feed high-quality foods and adhere to strict standards to ensure the best medical care for all cats in our care.

We receive no funding (local, state or government); we rely completely on donations and fundraising to save the lives of the homeless cats in our care. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and all donations are tax-deductible.

Because of our strong commitment to partnering with other Wisconsin animal organizations, OARS does not take in cats from the public or accept stray pets. We always have a waiting list of cats in need.

Please contact your local animal control for assistance if you find a stray.

With your help, we are creating a network of animal lovers who will change the world — one homeless cat at a time.
