Lost and Found Pets
Immediately contacting local law enforcement and your local animal shelter is highly recommended. OAHS can assist with giving contact information of the animal control officer for the municipality the animal was found in or possibly take the animal in and care for it (providing the animal was found within Oconto County).
We highly suggest listing your lost or found animal on the following sites below.
FEral cats
As of January 1st 2025, Oconto Area Humane Society no longer impounds healthy feral cats brought to the shelter and no longer traps healthy feral cats for impoundment. Feral cats are not socialized to people and are therefore not adoptable. Instead of impoundment, OAHS now promotes Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) for feral cats. Through TNR, feral cats are humanely trapped, vaccinated and spayed/neutered by a veterinarian, ear tipped for identification, and returned to their outdoor home.

adoption expenses
Adoptions fee include all vaccinations and spay/neuter surgery. Adopters will be provided with medical, behavioral, and background history upon adoption.

microchipping
OAHS provides public microchipping for your animal for a fee of $25. Contact us if you are interested in setting up a time to microchip your pet.
Microchips allow shelters, vet clinics, and animal control officers to get lost pets home safely and quickly. All adoptable cats and dogs are micro-chipped at OAHS. Simply call the shelter for more details or to set up an appointment.
barn buddies
Oconto Area Humane Society has fully vetted barn cats available for a low adoption fee. Whether you are looking for pest control or barn buddies, OAHS has a range of working cats fit for an outdoor lifestyle. Contact the shelter for more information and information of barn cat acclimation.

Our working cats are available for a 'name your price' adoption fee.
