Greater Shepparton City Council is encouraging community members to find a perfect companion for the summer and give one of the many cats and kittens currently at the Shepparton Animal Shelter a forever loving home.
In Summary
The Shepparton Animal Shelter is hosting its final Cat Adoption Day of the year on Thursday 12 December, from 10am to 2pm at 125 Wanganui Road, Shepparton.
Cats over 12 months can be adopted for $30, and kittens for $100, with no appointment needed to meet and greet.
Adopting a cat or kitten provides a loving home and helps free up space at the Shelter, which is currently at full capacity with over 50 cats and kittens.
All cats are desexed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Visitors can browse available cats online and complete a pre-adoption questionnaire to streamline the process.
The Shelter will be hosting a Cat Adoption Day on Thursday 12 December from 10am to 2pm at 125 Wanganui Road, Shepparton.
Adoption fees for cats over 12 months of age have been reduced to only $30, whilst the adoption fee for kittens is $100. No appointments are necessary, just turn up during the specified times for a meet and greet.
This will be the last Cat Adoption Day of the year, with the Shelter once again at cat-pacity with over 50 cats and kittens waiting to find a home.
Adopting not only changes the life of the cat you adopt, it also frees up space in the Shelter so they can take in new animals in need.
Council’s Manager Environment Sharon Terry encouraged community members looking to add a new member to the family to consider adopting a cat or kitten.
“Cats are a wonderful companion for those looking to add an extra member to their family. It is important to remember a pet is a long term commitment that requires attention and responsibility,” she said.
Animal Shelter staff encourage people planning to attend the day to check out the available cats online on Council’s website and choose their favourite feline friend. There is also an online pet adoption questionnaire which can be completed before you get to the Shelter to save time on arrival.
All cats have been vet checked, desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, treated for worms and fleas and are ready to take home on the day. Don’t forget to bring a carrier to take your new furry friend home, or you can purchase one from the Shelter on the day.
Visit Council’s Pets For Adoption webpage to discover the cats and kittens available for adoption.
