(WFRV) – The Wisconsin Humane Society is asking for the public’s help after an unprecedented intake of animals, especially surrendered cats, in recent days.

On Tuesday alone, 100 cats and kittens came in as surrenders or strays across WHS locations. The organization is currently caring for 1,500 animals, including nearly 1,100 felines — about 250 more cats on a daily basis compared to 2024.

“Kennel space has become so tight, we’ve had to set up temporary accommodations in unconventional spaces at some of our campuses,” said Angela Speed, vice president of marketing and communications. “As novel as it is to have cats in office spaces, these kitties would greatly appreciate a vacation in your spare room or even bathroom.”
