Every donation Happy Endings receives, whether great or small is thoroughly appreciated. That being said, there are a few items that the shelter is always in need of...
If you have anything that you'd like to donate, please stop in during our open hours and one of our volunteers will be happy to assist you!
We go through several bags of cat litter on a daily basis. Currently, we purchase much of the litter we use. While we appreciate every bag of litter donated, we would love to find a company, individual or group of people to help with our monthly cat litter needs. We also have other monthly needs such as laundry supplies as well. If interested, please contact us.
We are happy to announce that Happy Endings is having it's 13th annual auction!
The auction is planned for Saturday November 21st, 2009. It will be held at: the Knights of Columbus Banquet Center - 3200 South 103rd Street
Viewing will be at 2:30 PM and the auction will start at 3:30. We hope to see you there!
Happy Endings is a part of Pick 'N Save's "We Care" program which allows their customers to designate a non-profit organization to receive a donation every time their Advantage card is presented when making a purchase in any Pick 'N Save store in Wisconsin.
If you would like to become a part of this program, all you have to do is fill out an Advantage club card application and name Happy Endings as your favorite charity along with our account/donation number, 313600. If you have already designated another non-profit group as your charity and wish to change it, you can simply fill out a "change form", which is available upon request at the service desk of any Pick 'N Save store.
Remember, the more Pick 'N Save customers that have our account number assigned to their card, the larger the donation to Happy Endings. So please, tell your friends, family-members and co-workers about this wonderful way to help the animals at our shelter.
We would like to give a very special thank you to Monika Decono for donating our new storage unit.
Happy Endings is a non-profit,
no kill organization that has been in existence since 1994. It is run solely by volunteers. Our mission is to find permanent homes for strays, abused or unwanted cats that are either brought in to us or rescued off the street.
All potential adopters must fill out an application and go through an interview. Our adoption facilitators walk them through the shelter and help them find the perfect cat that would best match their homes. After a potential adopter signs up for a specific cat, there is a cool-down period. We do veterinarian reference checks and follow-up telephone calls on Mondays to make sure the potential adopters are still interested. After the telephone interview has taken place, a home visit is set up and the selected cat is delivered to it's new home.
Our adoption fees are $85 for one cat or kitten and $130 for two cats or kittens. The adoption fee includes various procedures which have already been performed, such as:
Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus tests
Distemper Shots
Rabies Booster (Good for 1 year from date given)
Preventative Dewormer
Spay or Neuter procedure for every cat that is at
least 8 months or older
If you visit our pet list and see a cat that you are interested in, please ask for that cat by name when you visit the shelter. Some cats may be in foster homes at the time of your visit..
HAPPY ENDINGS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY ADOPTION. ALL ADOPTERS MUST BE OVER 21 TO ADOPT.
Doing volunteer work is a very rewarding experience that takes hard work, dedication and an open heart. Everyday at Happy Endings, a group of wonderful volunteers come in to let the cats out to play while they clean their cages and give them fresh food and water. Each and every one of our volunteers are indispensable and are very special, but we are always looking for more help!
If you have a few hours a week to donate and would like to become a volunteer, just stop on in to the shelter during our open hours to fill out an application, find out the shift times for each day and which ones need your help. You can also e-mail happyend1@att.net for more information! Thank you!
