Our Mission

We are a no-kill cat rescue facility that opened in September 2004. We are a 501(c)3, so all donations are tax deductible. A no-kill cat shelter, Second Hand Purrs is run exclusively by volunteers and operates solely by donations. We raise money through various fundraisers, adoption fees, sponsorship fees, and other efforts to help the cats and kittens in our care. In our Kitty Korner, we have t-shirts, reusable shopping bags, and many items to help support the health and happiness of your cat. We are a smaller shelter, which enables us to spend quality time with each individual cat. Please help us reach our goal of 250 adoptions this year!!

Adoption Policy

Our cats and kittens are $100 for one and $160 for two cats. (Cash only at the time of pickup) Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. All of our cats have been tested for FIV (Feline AIDS) and FeLV (Feline Leukemia), and have had their stool tested for the existence of parasites (although we cannot guarantee there are absolutely no parasites since they may not be shedding at the time of testing). We keep the cats and kittens up to date with any boosters they may need. We spay or neuter all cats and kittens over 6 months of age and they receive their first rabies booster at that time as well. You would need to come in, pick out who you would like to adopt, and fill out an application form. We then call your vet for their records on your animal(s) and do a courtesy background check to make sure there are no serious issues. Once you have been approved by the board, one of the volunteers will contact you. Our shelter is open on Thursdays 6pm to 9pm and on Saturdays 10am to 3pm. All adoptions must be in the State of Wisconsin.
