When Alyssa visited the animal shelter near her home — the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC) — she wasn’t intending to adopt a cat that day in January 2016. “I’d stopped by the shelter after work one evening just to fill out an application, as I was planning to adopt a cat sometime in the future and wanted to have one on file,” explains Alyssa. “The shelter staff were great about helping me fill out an application, and they talked me into looking at a few cats while I was there.” To learn more about Newt, visit our website: http://www.meow.af/newt
