These are the cats currently available to visit in the cat lounge!
Reservations are recommended, not required. Walk-ins welcome, but not guaranteed based on capacity.
There's a $10/person for 1 hour fee to go in the cat lounge. This minimal fee helps us take care of our feline friends.
Reservations can be made online
Children 12 years of age and under MUST have adult supervision. The cats do NOT do well with children 3 years of age and under. While we know the kids are excited to see the cats, it is best they do not enter the lounge. We have TONS of windows where they can see the cats!
​
The cats prefer a quiet and calm environment. Sit back, relax, and be patient! If the cats are comfortable, they will come to you. If you have children in your party, we know how excited they are. Please make sure they use quiet voices, otherwise the cats will be scared and not come out. If the cats appear too stressed, we reserve the right to pause visits until the cats calm down.
​
All cats are adoptable through Little Orphans Animal Rescue.

Domestic Shorthair 6 months Female Spayed
Sasha
Sasha is one of 5 babies found in the parking lot of a local club and brought to the shelter. The mom was unfortunately never found. Sasha is a sweet and playful kitten. She is active and curious without being over-the-top hyper. She loves attention and will walk right up as soon as any volunteer walks into the room. She loves people and she loves the other kittens in her room. She is the liter-mate to Nova and as you can see they are the perfect pair, or we have a variety of other beautiful kittens that she would love to share her new family with! Sasha is looking for a family to grow up with and love her for many years to come.
Tabby 4 years old Female Spayed
Ruthie
Sweet Ruthie has been with us since 2020, mostly because she is on the shy side (at first) so we have not assigned her the "shelter greeter" position. Ruthie is the perfect example of why shelter workers say to always take time to meet the shy or scared ones because it is like finding a hidden treasure. Ruthie is just that and we know she would blossom with her own forever family to show her love and a little patience. Once she trusts you she loves attention and wants to be pet, even resting her sweet face in your hands. You can pick her up and she LOVES to sit in your lap. She is one of the kindest "kids" at the shelter. She is always rubbing against one of the other cats because all of them seem to be comfortable with Ruthie. She has the sweetest meow and will come out if called for some of our volunteers. Ruthie is the whole package! Sweet and beautiful, her tabby markings are distinct and her eyes are some of the most soulful in the shelter.
**Ruthie is currently here at The Cat's Brew in Sun Prairie. Check out our website for hours and reservations to meet Ruthie or any of the other LOAR kitties.
Ruthie is spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, dewormed, & microchipped.

Sundae (bonded with Shortcake)
Look at this beautiful boy!! Sundae has become an ICON at the shelter as he has been with us since he was young. He was found in some bushes outside someone's home, and turned over to one of our volunteers at their church.
​
Sundae is exceptionally tidy about his personal hygiene, always keeping himself perfectly "catscaped". His beautiful fur is always gleaming white. He likes to be seen so you can normally find him sunning himself in our front window or on the highest perch of a cat tree. He is a friendly boy, he loves to be pet and spoken to (if you are telling him how handsome he is) but doesn't love to be carried...probably because he likes to saunter on his own for maximum attention. He likes other cats, although he is selective about who he will nap or share a cat tree cubie with. He seems to be partial to the gingers as you can find him hanging out with Shortcake sometimes. Sundae is not aggressive towards the others he just isn't really a rough play kind of guy, pretty sure he would say "I am a lover not a fighter". If you have a window with a comfy seat for Sundae in your home, he will happily become your very handsome forever boyfriend!
​
If you would like to meet this gorgeous guy, make a reservation for the cat lounge! If interested in adopting, go to www.littleorphans.org
​
As with all of our cats, he is neutered, up to date on all his vaccines, dewormed, and microchipped.

Frasier
Frasier and his 2 siblings are survivors of a dog attack. Frasier can be a little shy at first but the moment you begin to pet and love on him he leans in for it all. He will follow some volunteers around the shelter until we pick him up and love on him. Frasier is a total sweetheart! He is kind to other kitties and loves to play. He never starts issues and is always the first to back down (and run) from other cats if they try to start something with him. He is truly a lover and not a fighter.

Risotto
Risotto (a volunteer gave her the nickname of Rizzy or Riz) was brought to us with her siblings as a kitten. She was by far the smallest (and sickest) of 4 sibling kittens. She was just spicy enough to survive and become a beautiful cat. Rizzy has grown up at our shelter but continues to hope her person will come for her soon. She is somewhat reserved and it may take a bit for her to warm up, but once she does she couldn't be sweeter. She has strong bonds with certain volunteers and will come out of a cat tree cubie when called. She loves to find a lap or perch to roll and put out her belly so you know its "Rizzy time". This a special girl who is just hoping that all this waiting was for her perfect person or family to find her. She would be great as a solo cat or with another relaxed cat. You will catch her and Ruthie snuggling in a cubby together occasionally. She is not aggressive over resources (food) or exceptionally curious where she would get into everything. She is fine to be picked up and carried by those she trusts, she loves to be loved on, and appreciates a kiss on the forehead once in awhile.
**Some important information to consider regarding Risotto**
Risotto was diagnosed with Stomatitis. Stomatitis is NOT contagious. It is a generalized inflammation of the mucous membranes of the mouth. The cause is often unknown but for Risotto it could be related to the conditions in her early life. Extraction of some or all teeth is often recommended as this is proven to have the greatest effect on stomatitis; however, some cases won’t fully resolve after extraction and still need medical management. Risotto had a full mouth extraction and her symptoms did not completely resolve initially. She was treated with a steroid medication and since been able to discontinue that medication and is doing wonderful! For Risotto routine health assessments to keep her condition stable will be important.
Risotto's adoption fee includes spay/neuter, up to date age-appropriate vaccines, deworming, flea preventative and microchip. If you would like to meet this sweet girl, please submit an online adoption application at our website: littleorphans.org Give our Adoption Team 2-5 business days to process the info on the app and contact all references. They communicate primarily by email, so watch your inbox (and spam folder) for messages.

Shortcake (Bonded with Sundae)
Shortcake is a big ginger boy who is looking for love. This guy has been with Little Orphans since he was a kitten when he was found all alone in a wood pile and is now almost a year and half. Shortcake is a typical orange boy. Curious, sweet, and does love to play. He can be on the cautious side in new situations but comes around quickly when he knows you are there for his big pumpkin love.
He is currently living at The Cat's Brew in Sun Prairie. To meet Shortcake and enjoy some great coffee head to our page for hours and/or reservations. Several of the other pumpkin spice crew are at The Cat's Brew too!! Shortcake will be here to welcome you and show you why you just can't go wrong with those Ginger Boys.

Taz
Taz was brought in by his family as they had an emergency move. He is quite a character! He's fairly high-energy and can get pretty wound up when he's playing. Silly and goofy, he loves a good loving up. He does have a tendency to give "love nips" sometimes. Everybody loves our Taz-Man.
Due to his past history of being terrorized by dogs, Taz isn't a big fan of dogs. However, he has become more tolerant and interested in dogs that visit the shelter. He could possibly be in a home with a dog who ignores cats.

Buzz
Look at this cute little ginger face! Buzz is over a year old (so not required to adopt two but always recommend when possible). He came to us as a scrawny kitten with his brother Woody (adopted) and sister Jessie (available) but sweet Buzz is still waiting for his family to find him and we can't figure out why as he is just the very best boy! He is playful without being a trouble-maker. Buzz makes the cutest noises when he is playing. He is kind to the other kitties. Buzz is sweet and loves attention although he sometimes seems surprised when he is chosen as he never puts himself out in front of the other cats that are more assertive. We know Buzz is just wishing for a family to call his own too! You can meet this cute "Pumpkin Spice" at The Cat's Brew. Buzz will be there to welcome you.
Buzz's adoption fee includes neutering, age-appropriate vaccines, dewormed, flea preventative, and microchipping.
