Dexter's Story

Looking for a sweet guy with plenty of personality? Dexter is ready to charm you! He's a confident, affectionate cat who has no problem letting you know when he's ready for attention. He'll rub right up against you for pets, especially those wonderful head scratches, and when he's really happy, he gets to work making some seriously enthusiastic biscuits. Dexter takes his kneading very seriously, but it's just one of the many ways he shows how much he enjoys being around people. If you're looking for an affectionate guy with a silly, lovable side, Dexter would love to meet you!<br/><br/>Dexter has tested positive for FIV. FIV may cause a weakened immune system, but FIV+ cats are frequently asymptomatic for the duration of their life. This also has no effect on their lifespan, and they are able to live safely with other cats.<br/><br/>For more information on FIV, follow this link: https://resources.bestfriends.org/article/fiv-cats-faqs-feline-immunodeficiency-virus

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.
