Adult Cat Adoption Fees Reduced!
We are reducing the adoption fees indefinitely for adult cats, one-year and older, to $15! All cats adopted from the Animal Shelter are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, feline leukemia-tested, and microchipped. That’s a lot of “bang for your buck!” And here are some reasons why adopting an adult cat may better suit your lifestyle and home:

The Sunshine House Paid the Shelter Animals a Visit
Twenty-eight children from The Sunshine House paid the shelter animals a visit and, as you can see, had a wonderful time! Along with their big smiles and big hearts, they brought donations of supplies, all of which we appreciated so much. Thank you to the Sunshine House staff and children for making our Monday so much fun!

At this time of year, litters of puppies and kittens are carried through the shelter door in boxes, clothes hampers, makeshift traps, and containers that were never designed for animal transport. The devoted mothers of the sweet little ones often accompany their offspring. With the increase in animals comes an increase in costs.

He’ll fetch and return a hundred times, and if his furrowed brow looks worried it’s only because he’s afraid you’ll ask him to share his squeaky toy — it’s the only thing this 7-month-old Jack Russell/Shar-pei mix won’t give; his boyish heart and playful devotion are yours for the asking. Arnie’s the darling of the play yard —
