(Sept. 15, 2016) With kitten season in full swing, Worcester County Humane Society is offering a lower adoption fee for cats of all ages at the shelter during the “Summer Feline Fling” event.
From now until Sept. 30, the cat adoption fees will be just $30. In addition, the shelter is offering adoption of a second cat at no additional cost. The discounted adoption fee includes spay/neuter, immunizations, microchip, FELV/FIV testing and deworming. Adoptions are based on application approval.
“There is no better time than now to adopt from the shelter as it is currently filled to capacity with cats and kittens,” said Jessica Summers, WCHS adoption coordinator. “We currently have over 150 cats of all ages at the shelter and more coming in almost daily. So far, we’ve already had over 50 kittens turned in and we still have a long way to go before kitten season is over.”
The shelter also has a senior to senior program where any person over the age of 65 adopting a cat over the age of 8 will have their adoption fee waived.
Worcester County Humane Society urges all pet owners to spay/neuter their pets. The shelter currently does not have a low cost spay/neuter clinic but is working toward that.
There are several low cost clinics and organizations in the area that are willing to help: Worcester County Animal Control, 410-632-1340; Humane Society of Wicomico County, 410-749-7603; Snip Tuck, 410-943-4050; Delaware SPCA, 302-856-6361; and SNAP, Inc., 410-885-5783.
The Worcester County Humane Society is a private, nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter located on Eagle’s Nest Road just off Stephen Decatur Highway. The shelter is open 11a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday; and 11a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday and Friday. The shelter is closed on Mondays.
