Join the Cat Adoption Day and have a Meowy Christmas!

The Shepparton Animal Shelter will be hosting a Cat Adoption Day this Saturday 16 December from 10am to 2pm on 125 Wanganui Road, Shepparton.

Adoption fee 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.

Following a couple of successful Cat Adoption Days earlier this year, with over 40 cats adopted in April and 38 in May, the Shelter is once again at capacity with a large number of cats and kittens ready for their new homes.

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.

Animal Shelter staff encourage people who are planning to attend to check out the available cats online on Council’s website and pick out 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 in or you can purchase one from the shelter on the day.

Visit Council’s website to discover the cats and kittens available for adoption here.
