A Plus Kittens Need a Home

These kittens are available at the Douglas County Animal Shelter.

By Pat Hopper

These kittens are beautiful with their individual black and white designs, showing each one to be unique.

They were sleeping today but when awake they are precious (little pandas) coming to the cage door and playing with each other. During their intake procedure the FVRCP and dewormer was given to each one. They are outgoing and will be so loveable.

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 are.

Adoption fees for dogs and cats is $25, and there is a $10 microchip fee. $35 for the opportunity to make a friend for life and to give a furkid a forever home is a small price to pay.

All dogs and cats presently receive intake inoculations for kennel cough and distemper and all pets adopted from the shelter are required to have their rabies shots and be spayed or neutered within 30 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. To learn about other animals available for adoption at Douglas County Animal Control, view their PetFinder listings.
