Orphan Animal Rescue and Sanctuary Inc.

Our Mission

Orphan Animal Rescue & Sanctuary (OARS) is dedicated to rescuing homeless cats and kittens, providing them with compassion, love, and the highest quality of care as they await their forever families. We are on a mission to change lives, one cat at a time, by giving these animals a second chance at happiness.

Our Story

Founded in 2008 by six animal lovers, OARS was born from a clear need within the Fox Cities community to save homeless felines. As a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we work tirelessly toward a future in which no more cats in Wisconsin are left without a home.

A Different Kind of Care

We believe all cats deserve to be treated with kindness and respect in a supportive environment. Our rescue consists of a small network of foster care homes alongside our unique, cage-free Adoption Center in Neenah, Wisconsin. At our center, cats enjoy a natural, home-like setting featuring sunny napping spots and views of bird feeders, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while they wait for their perfect match.

Connecting You with Your New Friend

We prioritize careful, thoughtful matching to ensure a lifelong, joyful companionship between our cats and your family. By taking the time to understand both the personalities of our feline residents and the needs of potential adopters, we create lasting bonds that truly save lives. Adopting from OARS is a rewarding partnership that gives a deserving cat the security and love they deserve.

Join Us in Making a Difference

Whether you are ready to find a new companion or simply want to support our efforts, we would love to connect with you. Please visit our website to view our currently adoptable cats or reach out to learn more about our process. Together, we can continue to make a meaningful difference for homeless cats in our community.
