HAWS is Expecting - Come Celebrate at our Kitten Shower!

HAWS, the Humane Animal Welfare Society of Waukesha County, is “expecting” – and everyone is invited to celebrate!

HAWS' annual Kitten Shower is set for Saturday, June 28th from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. at the shelter at 701 Northview Road, Waukesha. The event is free to attend.


“Hundreds of cute kittens ‘rain’ on HAWS this time each year, so it is a great time for a Kitten Shower,” notes HAWS’ Executive Director Lynn Olenik. “We invite the public to join in the fun – enjoy cake, win prizes, adopt a new family member – all while helping us raise the much-needed funds and supplies to care for the many feline bundles of joy we’ll welcome this year.”
