Almost Home Cat Rescue MKE (AHCRM) provides pet food & supplies to owners who are struggling to feed their pets due to financial hardship. Our pets are our family and we at Almost Home want to ensure that no one must make the tough decision to surrender their beloved pet due to the inability to obtain food because of unforeseen circumstances.

AHCRM Pet Pantry is solely supplied by donations from the public or generous pet companies. Therefore, AHCRM cannot guarantee that supplies are readily available when they are requested. If we are unable to supply what is requested, we will recommend another entity within the area that you can contact.

Pantry pick up hours:

Tuesday & Thursday 6pm-8pm

Saturday & Sunday 10am-2pm

· Hours are subject to change.
