Lucky, domestic shorthair

Lucky is a male domestic shorthair cat being kept at Milwaukee Pets Alive.

Lucky will do best with an owner who has time to bond with her. He will need a home free of other cats, dogs and children. Have no fear: He is already house-trained. He has been vaccinated and neutered.

Notes from Lucky's caretakers:

Lucky is a kind, gentle, resilient, brave and innocent soul who’s had more than his fair share of hardships at the hands of people, and it’s time he has better. “Lucky Ducky” (as his foster mom calls him) is an all-around friendly, sweet and loving boy. He adores being in the same room as his people.

Wheezy, domestic shorthair mix

Wheezy is a female domestic shorthair mix being cared for at Happy Endings No Kill Cat Shelter.

Notes from Wheezy's caretakers:

Wheezy was surrendered because her owner is very sick and could not take care of her anymore. She is gentle and affectionate. Even though she is a senior cat, she still loves to play. She prefers older or elderly humans to love.

Cali, tortoiseshell mix

Cali is a sweet female tortoiseshell mix currently residing at Happy Endings No Kill Cat Shelter.

Cali will get along great with other cats. Her ideal forever home would be a dog-free environment. Cali would prefer a home without small children. She's already vaccinated. No need to worry: She's already house-trained.

Notes from Cali's caretakers:

Cali is independent and playful. At times, she can be a handful, so she will need an owner who appreciates her expressive personality, as well as one who knows when to "rein her in." In the beginning, she can seem a little shy, but don't let that fool you.
