Humane society presents ‘Cat Days of Summer’

(June 30, 2016) The Worcester County Humane Society will be holding adoption events, “The Cat Days of Summer,” at several different locations throughout the summer.  
Look for shelter volunteers at the front entrance of Walmart in Berlin from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the following Saturdays – July 9, 23, Aug. 6, 20 and Sept. 3.  
There will also be adoption booths at Petco in West OC and Ocean Pines Farmers Market on July 16 and Aug. 20. In addition, the shelter will participate in the Worcester County Fair, Aug. 13-14.
There will be cats available for adoption at every event along with raffle tickets available for purchase with the chance to win three cash prizes.
The Worcester County Humane Society is a no-kill shelter located on Eagle’s Nest Road just off Stephen Decatur Highway (Route 611). There are over 100 cats living at the shelter with the majority of them being adults. Most of them are very affectionate, adoptable cats who have spent a year or longer at the shelter.
“There are so many great adult cats at the shelter that get overlooked because of their age,” said Sandy Summers, WCHS board member and volunteer.  “These cats have so much love to give and deserve to know the happiness of finding their forever family.”
Adoption fees for cats 5 and under are $100 and those over the age of 5 are $50. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, immunizations and microchip.
The shelter also has a “senior to senior” program where anyone 65 and older who adopts a cat 8 years or older will have their adoption fee waived.
