Back-to-School Special– A 'Study Buddy' Kitty for $5

Adoption fees for cats 6 months and older are only $5 starting Saturday and through the month of September at County Animal Service shelters.

County Animal Services' three animal shelters are overstocked on cats so for a limited time only, adoption fees for cats 6 months and older are only $5 starting Saturday and through the month of September.

"Our three County shelters are packed with gorgeous cats right now and we figure since school is back in session now is a great time to adopt the purrrfect study buddy,” said County Animal Services Director Dawn Danielson.

"One of the ten best habits to be successful in school is to have a study buddy. Our cats will let you study in peace and quiet, review your work and offer helpful critiques without a word of criticism!”

Kitten adoptions are $58 but there is a special for that too. Under the “Better with a Buddy” program, you can adopt one cat or kitten and any second feline adoption is free.
