Rising Cat Intake Prompts Wisconsin Humane Society to Launch Cat Adoption Promotions

July 18, 2025 by Laurel Ciohon

Green Bay and Door County, Wis. (July 18, 2025) –  Right now, cat population levels are soaring at the Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS). To help encourage adopter interest, WHS has launched two new initiatives in addition to their ongoing Kitten Buddy Pricing.

The first new initiative adds an incentive to adopting an adult cat. Now through the end of July, adult cat adopters will receive a coupon for 50% off any item in their Animal Antics store. These stores are located inside the Green Bay and Door County Campuses and have pet supplies and apparel available for purchase. All the proceeds from the store go back to helping local animals and the people who love them.

The second initiative is offering a fresh look at WHS’s “Name Your Own Adoption Fee.” Since 1999, WHS’s adult cat adopters have been able to name their own adoption fee, or waive the fee entirely, when taking home a new family member. But, new kennel cards illustrate the shocking value of adopting an adult cat from WHS.

It would cost about $752 to provide all the veterinary care, food, vaccines, spay/neuter surgery, and other benefits that WHS provides adult cat adopters! All cats at WHS are spayed/neutered, given initial vaccines, and microchipped before going home. They also go home with a free bag of starter food, a certificate for a free vet exam, and other adoption perks. However, at WHS, adult cat adopters can pay $0 to take their new family member home.

Not interested in an adult cat? Right now, if you adopt two kittens, the second kitten will have 50% off the adoption fee. Since cats are social animals, WHS always recommends adopting kittens in pairs especially when they come from the same litter.

“With the rising costs of pet care, we are proud to be able to remove barriers to pet ownership,” said Corey Viars, media specialist for the Wisconsin Humane Society Green Bay and Door County Campuses. “These initiatives not only help get cats into loving homes, but they also help show the community what we do for local animals and the people who love them.”

To see available animals, go to www.wihumane.org/adopt. Adoptions are first-come, first-served, as long as it’s a good fit, and WHS does same-day adoptions. A counselor will work with you to find a great match!
