Madison, Wis. – The Dane County Humane Society announced a limited‑time adoption promotion that runs from Friday, Nov. 13 through Thursday, Nov. 19. During the “Fall in Love” special, all animals listed under the Lonely Hearts Club program will have their adoption fees waived, and adult or senior cats will be adopted for just $5 each. Kittens under six months will be available for $100.
Society officials say the discount is designed to help animals that have been waiting longer than average or that have special needs, making it easier for families to bring a new pet home. “We have cats of every age and personality, as well as some truly wonderful dogs who are ready to be part of a new family,” said Amy Good, Director of Development & Marketing at DCHS. “We’re hoping this Fall in Love special gives people a reason to come meet their new best friend. Every adoption makes a difference, not only for the animal going home, but also for the next animal who needs a safe place to land.”
Why the promotion matters
Since the start of November, the humane society has admitted nearly 100 cats, including 66 strays, highlighting the ongoing need for permanent homes. By reducing financial barriers, the organization hopes to accelerate placements for both cats and dogs, easing shelter crowding and improving overall animal welfare.
The promotion aligns with the society’s broader mission to promote responsible pet ownership and to provide education on spay/neuter, vaccination, and proper care. Volunteers and staff will be on hand throughout the week to answer questions, help prospective owners select the right pet, and guide them through the adoption process.
How to adopt
Interested residents can visit the Dane County Humane Society’s main facility in Madison during regular business hours. Adoption counselors will walk visitors through the application, health screening, and post‑adoption support services. The society also offers a starter kit that includes food, a collar, and a health check‑up for each newly adopted animal.
