This shelter is incredible. All of the volunteers are friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed and personal. Compared to other shelters I've been to its a lot quieter, which results in happier more comfortable cats. They have both cuddly kittens and sweet adult cats who are looking for their forever homes. It's hard to make a choice when you just want to take all of them home!

This no-kill animal shelter is run by a dedicated and compassionate group of volunteers. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful in matching up everyday folks with the perfect feline companion. I 100% support their cause and look forward to giving another cat a forever home.

We just adopted two very handsome boys. Great volunteer staff and additional services (claw trimming for a $5 donation)

Stooped in the other day. Place smells clean and is clean. Obviously, it's not an easy job, but they do it. We have adopted 3 cats over the years with no issues. Thank you, SHP, for all the joy you bring to Milwaukee!

My hubby and I have adopted two (update *three*) wonderful cats from this shelter. They are dedicated to keeping all their cats and kittens healthy and supported and finding them the right forever homes.

We adopted Bill and Ted in November 2021. The process was easy but thorough. We got to play with them and visit a few times before bringing them home. These Wyld Stallyns are great mousers! The staff is AMAZING!
