Cat of the Week

The Oconto Area Humane Society, Inc. is 'getting the word out' on a very special cat that is still awaiting adoption!

This week's spotlight once again shines on 'Nala'. This is her third appearance as 'Cat of the Week' and we are hoping that the third time is the charm! She is an extremely affectionate and beautiful lady who first appeared as the 'Cat of the Week' back in November. She wants nothing more than to show you what a wonderful cat she is, and love you forever. Her adoption fee is only $20, and she is looking forward to belonging to a family just like yours! Come in to meet her during open shelter hours. To help curb the number of unwanted cats, her new owner would be required to have her spayed within 30 days of her adoption. Many area veterinarians are offering a spay/neuter discount, free health exam and/or free fecal examination. Ask for details!

We welcome visitors for 'Nala' or any of the other animals at the shelter. Remember, the OAHS offers a 'two for one' special on all cats—adopt two for the price of one!

Volunteers of the Month: Mark and Marci Wenck

The Oconto Area Humane Society & Animal Shelter, Inc. is proud to announce the newest recipient of our 'Volunteer of the Month' award. This award was established to help recognize the many volunteers who make the operation of our shelter possible.

Mark and Marci Wenck have been volunteering at the Oconto Area Humane Society on a regular basis for years. They volunteer because they enjoy the camaraderie among the staff and volunteers. They also enjoy seeing the animals finding forever homes. Mark and Marci share their home with 2 dogs and 5 cats. Four of the cats were adopted from the Humane Society!

Mark and Marci enjoy reading, biking and gardening when they are not dedicating their time to volunteer work.

We sincerely thank the Wencks for all of their hard work which enriches the lives of the pets at the Oconto Area Humane Society.
