Charcoal's Story

Adoption fee sponsored by: Anonymous<br/><br/>Hi there, I'm Charcoal! I like to take my time checking out new places before I decide everything is up to my very high standards, so don't be surprised if I need a little time to get my bearings. Once I settle in, you'll discover I have the heart of a teddy bear and plenty of love to share. One thing you should know about me right away? I am a serious foodie! If there's a meal, snack, or treat involved, you can count me in. I also have cerebellar hypoplasia, which means I can be a little wobbly on my feet. It's simply something I was born with, it isn't painful, and it won't get worse over time. I may do things a little differently, but I still enjoy exploring, relaxing, and living life to the fullest. If your favorite hobby is trying new recipes, enjoying a good meal, or simply sharing a snack with a furry best friend nearby, I think we'd make the perfect pair. All I need is a little patience, a full food bowl, and someone ready to love me for the sweet guy I am.<br/><br/>Charcoal has tested positive for Feline Leukemia and FIV. FeLV is not a type of cancer. Both FIV and FeLV are viruses that cause a weaker immune system. While cats with FIV can often be asymptomatic during their lifetime, cats with FeLV typically have a shortened lifespan. For the most part, 'FeLVies' are just like any other cat. Charcoal can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but dogs and other animals are just fine! Any questions? We'd love to talk with you about FeLV care.<br/><br/>For more information on FIV and FeLV, follow these links: <br/><br/>FIV: https://resources.bestfriends.org/article/fiv-cats-faqs-feline-immunodeficiency-virus <br/><br/>FeLV: https://catfriendly.com/feline-diseases/felv/

Elmbrook Humane Society's Adoption Policy
If you would like to adopt an animal in our care, the first step is to complete our adoption application. Applications can be filled out online or in person and are reviewed same-day (as long as they are received during business hours). We are open for viewing from 1-6pm every day*. While there is no appointment needed to walk through the shelter and view all of the animals, appointments will be required to meet and/or adopt. Appointments can be made same-day when available or scheduled up to a week in advance with an approved application. Operating by appointment allows us to provide the best possible care for the animals and service to you. We encourage all family members in the household to meet the adoptable animal prior to adoption (this may be required for certain animals). If you are adopting a dog and have another dog in your household, we encourage you bring in your dog to meet their potential new companion (this may be required for certain dogs). *The shelter is closed on holidays and the last day of every month. **Beginning in 2026, the shelter will be closed on the last Tuesday of every month.
