These are the cats currently available to visit in the cat lounge!
Reservations are strongly recommended, not required. Walk-ins welcome, but not guaranteed based on capacity.
There's a $10/person (plus tax) for 1 hour fee to go in the cat lounge. This minimal fee helps us take care of our feline friends.
Reservations can be made online
Children 12 years of age and under MUST have adult supervision. The cats do NOT do well with children 3 years of age and under. While we know the kids are excited to see the cats, it is best they do not enter the lounge. We have TONS of windows where they can see the cats!
The cats prefer a quiet and calm environment. Sit back, relax, and be patient! If the cats are comfortable, they will come to you. If you have children in your party, we know how excited they are. Please make sure they use quiet voices, otherwise the cats will be scared and not come out. If the cats appear too stressed, we reserve the right to pause visits until the cats calm down.
All cats are adoptable through Little Orphans Animal Rescue.

Domestic Shorthair, 1 year, Female Spayed
Reba
Reba is quickly becoming a shelter favorite because she is such a kind and affectionate lady. She is a beautiful tabby queen with giant green eyes! She is the mama of five kittens (which are now in another room waiting for their own spots on our spay/neuter list) which she took excellent care of because they are healthy and sweet as can be as well. One of her kittens has a white tip on her tail just like Reba! Reba would do well in a home with other cats as she lived with others, including the two male cats she came in with. She seems to have a calm and loving vibe so she would probably fit into most families.
Reba came to our shelter with two other adult (males) and her five kittens. The family that was renting the property was leaving and didn't know what would happen to them once they left. They were all outside cats (apparently were allowed inside or in some sort of porch/patio) during the VERY cold weather as some of the kittens had a little frost bite so it was essential to make room for the entire group in our shelter before the family left the property. We are happy we did, as both the kittens and the adult cats are amazing. All loving, very social (including with kids), and appreciative to have a warm and cozy place to be. **These cats are a good reminder the importance of spay/neuter programs**
Domestic Shorthair, 6 months, Male Neutered
Dobby
Dobby is a like "the little engine that could" (sorry if that reference is out of date). He is a little dynamo that just wanted to live. He was brought to our shelter by a volunteer that was made aware of three kittens that were left outside in Wisconsin winter weather. By the time he arrived Dobby was the only one still alive. He was tiny and sick but clearly had a strong will to live and that he did. Our volunteers happily nursed him back to health, including one of our experienced kitten fosters, that was happy to give him some extra TLC. It is impossible to not fall in love with this little guy. He begs for attention, loves to be picked up, and will snuggle right into your neck and even gives kisses which sometimes are little love nibbles. He is a very special boy just waiting for his forever family to come for him. He is what some call a "runt" as his recent vetting re-aged him to older than we expected by almost a month. What he might lack in size he makes up for in personality. Dobby has tons of love to give. He loves everyone! He is always playing or snuggling with any kitten in his room, always kind, always happy, and always ready to give (and take) love! Consider adding Dobby (and another kitten) to your family.

Domestic Shorthair, 6 months, Male Neutered
Bart
Bart and his brother Lenny are so sweet. Bart is gorgeous with the marjoirty of his body being white, and a touch of black on his little face. Bart came in a little more timid than Lenny, but has since started to show his true colors, which is just a really affectionate boy. He does love all of the other kittens in his room, but his brother seems to be his favorite. He still looks to him for comfort but has gained so much confidence in the last few weeks. Bart would love a family (including another kitten) to grow up in. Please consider this beatiful boy (and maybe his brother Lenny)

Domestic Long Hair, 2 years, Female Spayed
Lucille
Lucille (Lucy) is a beautiful cat that is looking for a second chance to have a beautiful life that she deserves! She came to us through our spay/neuter program, she was scheduled to be returned to an overcrowded barn/shed/outside life, but luck was on her side that day as we had room for two adult cats to stay with us. Lucille and Loretta came to us that day, dirty and scared, but open to the opportunity. We were able to handle them and get them cleaned up, bathed, and do all the necessary "intake" items to start them on the way to better life. They came in the same day with a group of four kittens, not for the same place, or together, just at the same time. We were all added to a room together, so we could intake them on the same schedule. Lucille took to the kittens right away, she lays with them, grooms them, and you can even catch one of the kittens trying to nurse from Lucille (she is not lactating and nor is the kitten in need of nursing) but seems happy to take on the "mothering" role in the room. If you are looking for Lucy she will be in a bed or cubie with any number of kittens.
Lucille enjoys touch from humans as well. She will begin to purr you start to pet, just go slow at first until she realizes you are there to love her, after that she will sit with you all day. She is gorgeous! We know she will only become more beautiful once she has had a couple of weeks of good nutrition and a dry/safe bed. Lucille would enjoy a peaceful home, maybe one that included another cat, young or old, but one that would not mind some snuggle time. This is truly one of the most loving cats!
Domestic Shorthair, 9 months, Male Neutered
Elvis
Elvis (like his name sake) is a mover and a shaker. He has typical orange kitten syndrome. Sweet, affectionate, and playful. He is the smallest of this litter, but anything he lacks in size he makes up for in personality. This little cutie has alot of love to give his new family.
Elvis is part of the "SuperStar litter (Sunny, Cher, and Pricillia). This litter has been just exceptionally sweet from the start. Yes we know, all kittens are "sweet", but this group has a very relaxed vibe. They are all super excepting of any others added to their room, and really love each other and people! This group always snuggles together, and welcome volunteers whenever they come in the door.

Domestic Shorthair, 8 years, Female Spayed
Bailey
This cat is absolutely beautiful! She has soft buff fur and light colored eyes. Bailey has recently come out of her shell after being with us for about a month. She is in "general population" and is so kind and patient with all of the other cats. Bailey has great manners, and will watch for you to notice her (or call her name) and she will get up and come right to you for attention. She is very affectionate with all of our volunteers, she has a soft and steady purr, which is a true stress reducer for most of us! We have all just fallen in love with beautiful Bailey.
Bailey was surrendered to our shelter when her person's circumstances changed and additional cats were added to the home. This girl is perfectly friendly with other cats, but unfortunately the "added cats" were not as open to Bailey. They were unkind and picked on Bailey when left alone together. Bailey is a soft soul, very sweet, and choose to hide from them (understandable) instead of cause any issues within the home. Sadly, she was the one chosen to be removed from the home, and probably why she is so confused by why she is now with us instead of in her former home.
We did promise this sweet girl we would find her a new home, one where she will be able to feel safe and loved forever this time. If you are looking to give an extremely sweet cat a second chance at a great life, choose Bailey! We think this beautiful girl is going to blossom in a relaxed home, where she is given the love she clearly deserves. She wants to be loved, and is happy to share hers as well.
Bailey has had recent vetting, including blood and dental work (which can be concerns with "older" cats). She is now happy and healthy, and so ready to find her true love.
Domestic Shorthair, 2 years, Male Neutered
Waylon
Look at Waylon's sweet face! He is so adorable. This boy is very loving and affectionate. He will lean into your hand as you pet him and reach out for you when you walk away. Waylon (like the other cats he came in with) is respectful and kind to other cats. He will wait his turn for attention and/or food or is perfectly happy to move over a bit and share. Waylon is a great family cat just waiting for his chance to show you how special he is.
Waylon came in with two other adult cats and five kittens. The family that was renting the property was leaving and didn't know what would happen to them once they left. They were all outside cats (apparently were allowed inside or in some sort of porch/patio) during the VERY cold weather as some of the kittens had a little frost bite so it was essential to make room for the entire group in our shelter before the family left the property. We are happy we did, as both the kittens and the adult cats are amazing. All loving, very social (including with kids), and appreciative to have a warm and cozy place to be. **These cats are a good reminder the importance of spay/neuter programs**
Domestic Shorthair, 6 months, Neutered Male
Lenny
Lenny is simply adorable. He came to our shelter with his brother Bart. Lenny is definitely the braver of the two, and tends to protect his brother if needed, or at least is always ready to if needed. Lenny is very friendly and affectionate as he did spend some time with one of our amazing fosters. They are both friendly with other kittens but would certianly not be opposed to head home with a great family together as well. They are a perfect pair! Bart and Lenny are not required to go home together but are required to be adopted with another similiar aged kitten or to a home that already has a built in feline sibling waiting for them. Please consider little Lenny as he is a sweetheart.

Domestic Shorthair, 11 months, Male Neutered
Cooper
Cooper is such a fun cat, sweet and affectionate as well. He is very handsome of course and has many of the "standard orange boy traits". He is very vocal mostly in order for him to gain attention as he really just wants to hang out with people and does not yet understand when our volunteers cannot spend the entire day with him. Cooper did live with other cats so would happy to join a large cat family or happy to be your one and only (again he really loves people). Cooper was a surrender when his person passed away. The family was unable to continue to care for them (four cats).
