Ames Today

With an abundance of cats available for adoption, Ames Animal Shelter is beginning its recognition of June as “Adopt a Cat Month” early by offering adoption specials beginning today and continuing through all of June. The adoption specials will include the following:

• Adult cats (6 months and older): $25 each. No discounts on 2-for-1 adoptions; $25 each, which is $50 less than the regular 2-for-1 adoption fee.
• Kittens (5 months and under): $100. The cost for 2-for-1 kitten adoptions is $100.

“With the two cat hoarding cases late last year, our shelter took in 58 cats over a very short period of time, above and beyond our typical intake of cats,” said Ames Animal Control Supervisor Ron Edwards. “Although several of the hoarding case cats have been adopted, we still have many cats and kittens looking for their forever homes.”

Adoption fees include head-to-tail exam by the Shelter’s veterinary technician, spay/neuter prior to adoption, age-appropriate vaccinations, test for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) status, tests for intestinal parasites/treatment for any identified intestinal parasites, flea preventative, microchip with 24PetWatch (lifetime registration included), carrier to get the cat safely home, and a starter kit with food and toys.
