Angel's Wish Pet Adoption and Resource Center

I was shopping at Petsmart while Angel's Wish was having an adoption event there. I needed to grab supplies quick and leave but had a negative interaction with one of the volunteers. The group was in front of where I needed to grab some bedding for my rabbit and my dog briefly got too close to one of the crates. One of the volunteers kept an eye on the situation (my dog is good with my cat at home so I didn't think too much about there being an isssue) but another woman approached pretty aggressively and snapped at me pulling the table away and told me to get my dog out of the cats face. I understand the safety concern but there are gentler ways to approach those types of situations. Volunteers are representatives of the nonprofit, salespersons and animal advocates. I didn't deserve to be scolded in that way and if the volunteers are going to act out like that the cats who deserve to be adopted won't be due to their caretakers poor attitude.

I understand that rescue’s have the right to choose who receives the animals and who doesn’t, BUT to lie and say that “ At this time, we are unable to approve your application. Unfortunately, we have been unable to establish a consistent pattern of wellness exams and vaccinations for your previous pet(s). Our organization requires these to be completely yearly (or at the recommendation of your vet).”, you NEVER even contacted them to find out that he had 2 (two) vets in his pets whole life. Shots, check up, dental work, neutered, groomed every 4 weeks in his pets life he only had two groomers. THE PET WAS HIS BEST FRIEND, spoiled, pampered, loved beyond measure. If you had let him adopt one of your animals it would of had its best life. I feel bad for the animals that won’t get that chance. Just be careful because you could miss out on a really good match. I will never recommend this “rescue” to anyone. Oh and Fyi he does know about cat’s and their health he grew up with both cats and dogs.

We adopted two litter mates just over 2 years ago. We wanted two kittens who got along well and we couldn't have asked for a better pair.Scotch and Ryelee are living the dream here on Milwaukee's Eastside.Linda does a wonderful job placing cats into well deserving homes. We would definitely adopt from Angel's Wish again!

I adopted a kitten from Angel's Wish a year ago, and she has grown to be an amazing cat. She's adorable, goofy, outgoing and curious. The rescue did a good job providing background information on her and providing an accurate description of her personality. I primarily dealt with Amy, Violet's foster mom, and she was terrific. The adoption process was easy and painless. I really appreciate that the cats are able to live in foster homes but that the rescue also has a central location, which makes it easy to meet them. I highly recommend!June 2020 update: I adopted another little girl, Astrid (formerly Feta), from Angel's Wish. Astrid is special needs because of her deafness and wide range of allergies. I worked with Linda, who was just as wonderful to work with as Amy. She made sure I knew everything I needed to about Astrid's medical history, and the adoption was smooth, despite the quarantine. Astrid has been a perfect addition to the family.

I had a stray animal cat her name was Desiree" and she was taken from the sauk county humane society and taken to this facility. The adorable cat was adopted out within a few days and the staff were kind enough to let me know that the stray I was taking care of found a home!!! (She was such a SWEET KITTY AND I MISS HER) but I'm not in a position to be her owner not right now."

My family adopted our kittens from here. We were really impressed by how thorough the adoption process was even though it was difficult to wait the few weeks necessary for Angel's Wish to review our documents and vet reference. In the end I'm happy they do such a thorough job to ensure the kitties are going to a good home and will be well taken care of. The staff were very professional and helpful when we had questions. I highly recommend adopting from here!

You can tell Angel’s Wish cares for their kitties. They have high expectations for the adopter as can be seen though their strong vetting process. Place can be busy on Saturday’s, best if you get pre-approved and if you find a kitty or more on their web site, be there early. We were looking for and found a bonded pair of females. The two new additions have really filled a whole of our recently departed 14 and 19 year old cats.

This place is extremely clean and tidy. The entire inside looks nice and updated. The cats are kept either in nicely sized condos or in visiting rooms.The volunteers/staff are incredibly nice and seem to really care about the cats. The adoption process is fairly easy. I recommend completing the online form before coming in.

I had an excellent experience with Angel's Wish! I would recommend adopting from this place. Very friendly and informative volunteers. And I found my new cat, Khloey because of Angel's Wish. I'm so grateful for their work!

Wow - this place is fantastic!!I attended my first event last weekend and was so impressed by the friendly volunteers and the facilities. The cats seemed so happy and the rooms were ideal for getting to know the kitties. The volunteers were so helpful and someone was always checking to make sure I didn't have any questions. I found out they also bring in cats from shelters that are over-run - so pleased to hear this. I highly recommend adopting from Angle's Wish!
