Country Animal Haven, a non-profit, no-kill
animal shelter, exists to provide a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves
- mainly cats who are unwanted, lost, abused or abandoned, although all pets are
welcome.
We strive to provide a safe respite while seeking forever homes for these animals who ask for little more than love, food and shelter.
Country Animal Haven endeavors to be a strong presence in the community, working to increase awareness of animal issues. We strongly advocate spaying and neutering of both feral and pet cats to reduce the overabundance of unwanted kittens and improve the general health of adult cats. We hope for the day that all animals will know what it means to be wanted and loved.

Opportunities
"Feeding
and Watering" the
cats With nearly two hundred cats in the shelter, routine jobs such as refilling
food and water bowls can be quite an undertaking. Any help with this would be
much appreciated.
We occasionally need someone to bring animals to the shelter from where they
were found or to their foster home from the shelter.
In a building with as many cats as we have in the rescue, there are many cleaning
jobs large and small that need doing. Any help with these jobs would help quite
a bit.
We always need people to take animals into their homes to provide them a loving
environment until they can be adopted. The more experience they have in a good
home the better they will fare when they are adopted.
We currently need people to help by coordinating or participating in our fundraising
efforts. We run car wash events, rummage sales of donated items and participate
in the WKOW-TV auction. We need help with all of these events so that they go
smoothly.
Our shelter in Stoughton has several flower gardens which need occasional maintenance.
We need people to help with our adoption day events. These events are the main
way animals get adopted through our rescue.
With as many cats as we have at the shelter, one of the most important but least
pleasant jobs is cleaning out the litter boxes. Many of the cats came in as
strays or from farms so we need to do everything we can to encourage litter
box use. The most important being keeping them clean. Naturally, not many people
are eager for this job, but if we can find several volunteers for this job,
it would be an enormous help.
Just because cats are in a shelter doesn't mean they need affection any less.
We need volunteers to spend time with them to help them learn to accept humans.
