Cat Tales About Cat Tails

The Douglas County animal shelter has a number of very beautiful cats available for adoption, many of which are fully vetted, having been spayed or neutered and rabies vacinated along with their distemper vaccinations. The shelter is also full right now.

Please come by and visit the fur kids and see if there isn't one there who is just right for you and your family. There are all kinds of cats available, from democestic short hair to Tuxedo, to Taby. A few long hairs and Maine coon mixes.

Beautiful tortose shell and flame coat markings and deep and sultry silky black fur are just some of the choices available. Have a look at the video and see most of these beautiful cats that are availabale and then decide if there could be one of them in your future.

If you’re interested in adopting a dog or cat as an addition to your family, please consider adopting a shelter animal first. 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.

Pet listings are updated frequently, however, animals featured may be adopted and that after all is the goal. If the pet you are interested in has been adopted, please consider giving another of the many available 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 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 furkid 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.
