Adopters Welcome During Public Visiting Hours
Tuesday, Thursday & Friday 1pm – 6pm
&
Saturday 11am – 3pm
Stop in during our public visiting hours (no appointment needed) to meet our available cats; you can view them beforehand online HERE
After you meet the cat/s you would like to adopt, we will have you complete a simple one-page application. If you are unable to visit during open hours, please contact our Cat Team at 920-424-2128 ext. 106 or cat@oahs.org
After you’ve met the cat/s you would like to adopt and are approved for adoption, we will set up a time for you to take your cat/s home.
Please note we cannot hold cats. We appreciate approved adopters taking their kitties home as soon as possible and will accommodate your schedule. The more quickly kitties can get out of the shelter the better, for their health and happiness; plus, this enables us to save as many kitties as possible.
Also, we are unable to do same-day adoptions at this time unless special circumstances apply such as long-distance travel. If you require special arrangements for adoption, please contact our Cat Team at 920-424-2128 ext. 106 or cat@oahs.org prior to visiting.

Although we do not have an adoption fee for cats, we do ask for medical reimbursements that apply to the cat/s that you adopt.
Licensing fee, microchip fee and rabies vaccination reimbursement fees may apply at the time of adoption (City of Oshkosh license is $5, microchip is $25 and rabies vaccination is $25, totaling no more than $55 if all apply).
OAHS invests an average of $250 into every animal available for adoption.
All cats are spayed/neutered before being adopted and are given age-appropriate vaccinations. They are also given any preventatives and medical treatments needed while in our care.
Cats are also tested for feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV).
Senior cats receive a senior bloodwork panel and needed dental care (if deemed necessary) to ensure they are as healthy as possible when they go to their new homes.
Donations are always appreciated to help new animals coming into OAHS.
