Due to an abundance of cat and kittens in the St. Joseph’s Animal Control and Rescue shelter the City is temporarily reducing adoption fees for felines.

The City said, because the shelter is at “Cat-pacity” and has approximately 50 cats available for adoption, the Friends of  the Animal Shelter of St. Joseph, LLC, is holding a feline special this weekend.
Half price for kittens and no charge for cats adopted this Friday, June 16th and Saturday, June 17th. Shelter hours are 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. both days.

There will be a limit of two cats (including kittens) per individual and the adoption must take place in person at the shelter during business hours. To adopt a shelter cat or kitten, an application must be completed. It can be filled out at the shelter or found on the City website by clicking on “Health Department” under “Government”, then use the left hand column to go to the “Animal Control & Rescue” page, where a link to the adoption page can be found. The fees associated with adopting a pet vary, depending upon the size of the animal and whether it is spayed or neutered.

The Friends of the Animal Shelter of St. Joseph, LLC’s, Facebook page has photos of available animals, as does the animal shelter web page CLICK HERE.

Hours this week are:.
Thursday, 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Friday, 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Saturday, 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
