Kittens by The Dozens

The Douglas County Animal Shelter presently has twenty litters of kittens for adoption and rescue. That means that there are over eighty kittens at the shelter right now needing homes. This is a critical number of kittens in residence at the shelter and these kittens cover the spectrum from Tuxedo to Tabby and Calico and Tortoise shell combinations. Take the time to visit the shelter this weekend and see if one or more of these little ones can become your own. They have all had their initial intake vaccinations and will require spaying and or neutering and rabies vaccinations within 90 days of adoption. There are so many beautiful kittens to choose from, therefore, I will just post as many photos as possible to demonstrate the selection and wide variety available.

If you’re interested in adopting any of these kittens or any of the other dogs or cats, that are available, please visit the Douglas County Animal Shelter located at 1755 County Services Road (off Cedar Mountain Road). The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. The shelter is closed to the public on Monday, but open to rescue organizations on Mondays.

To learn about other animals available for adoption at Douglas County Animal Control, view their PetFinder listings on their website. or come see the DCAC pets posted daily at Rainbow Connections on Facebook or see the current postings on our sister page Furbabies of DCAS.

Pet listings are updated daily, however, some animals featured may be adopted prior to your arrival and that after all is the goal. If the pet you are interested in has been adopted, please consider giving another of the many loveable pets an opportunity to be your forever friend and allow them to show you just how special they each are when they are given a chance.

Adoption fees for dogs and cats at DCAC is $25 and there is a $10 micro chip fee. $35 for the opportunity to make a friend for life and the opportunity to give a fur kid a forever home is a small price to pay. All dogs presently receive intake inoculations for kennel cough, parvo and distemper (cats receive distemper) and all pets adopted from the shelter are required to have their rabies shots and be spayed or neutered within thirty days of adoption, unless they are kittens or puppies. The Douglas County Animal Shelter phone: 770-942-5961. If the line is busy, please keep trying as there is often limited staff to answer calls. However, messages left will be returned as time permits.
