Happy Tails: Phoenix & Collin
"I adopted 2 amazing cats Combine (Collin Robinson) and Cultivater (Phoenix) in March 2025. I wanted to let your staff know that they are doing well, loved, and cared for. "I live in Yosemite National Park, CA. My uncle passed away and there were cats left on his farm. I got 10 cats neutered/spayed, vaccinated, and flea/tick/heart worm applications and found homes for some. My family fed the remaining cats until the farm sold, as I had to go back to work. I got in touch w

Happy Tails: Presley
"I've really enjoyed following the Dubuque Humane Society on Facebook, and hearing other's adoption stories. Just wanted to provide you an update on Chanterelle (aka "Presley").

Happy Tails: Kubo
"Flubs, who we adopted last November, is doing well, and has been the best addition to our family. His name is Kubo and he is a little ninja but will still 'flub' to the floor lol. We have had to lock up the bread because he could get in the bread drawer and he scales walls." - Elisha M.

Happy Tails: Emily
"I wanted to send an update on Emily. She has settled into her new home beautifully and is such a love. She adores her older cat sister and dog brother, trying tenaciously to convince them to play with her. Her favorite things are lounging outside in the sun, going for walks, meeting new people, snuggling on the couch, and mealtime. She is learning to play with toys and has a squeaky plastic pig that seems to be her favorite. She is kind, confident, curious, and very eager to
