Feline Frenzy Comes to NAHS
If you've been thinking about adopting an adult cat or kitten, NOW is the time! From August 30 through September 10, the adoption fees for felines are as follows:
Adult Cats, age 6 mos and older - $5
Kittens, age 5 mos and younger - $75
When you adopt a cat or kitten, you're really helping two pets: the one you take home and the one who can now enter the shelter to find a home of their own.
Of course, we also have dogs and puppies if canines are more to your liking.

All dogs and cats are spayed or neutered, current on all vaccinations, microchipped and have a collar and ID tag. Dogs are heartworm tested and treated if needed. Cats are tested for feline leukemia/FIV.
To meet the cats, kittens, dogs and puppies currently in the shelter, please visit us during adoption hours which are:
Monday and Thursday: 5-8 PM
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday: 1-6 PM
Saturday and Sunday: 12-4 PM
Visit our website for more adoption information and to see the cats and dogs looking for a family of their own.

Enrichment Activities for Cats and Dogs
NAHS animal care staff have created a new enrichment activity program for the cats and dogs in our care. These activities help relieve stress in the animals, provide mental stimulation and reduce boredom.

- ice cream cones (plain, not waffle cones)
- empty peanut butter jars
-
 empty film canisters or prescription pill bottles - paper bags
- catnip
- 1.5" masking tape
- fast-food drink trays
- empty water bottles
- paper towel and toilet paper rolls
- soft and hard dog and cat treats
Items can be dropped off at the shelter through the Service Entrance as follows:
Monday and Thursday - 8 AM to 7:30 PM
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday - 8 AM to 5:30 PM
Saturday and Sunday - 8 AM to 4:30 PM
Thank you for helping to enrich the lives of the cats and dogs who must call the shelter home!
