COMING TO FORT WAYNE ANIMAL CARE & CONTROL JUNE 29 & 30

Local not-for-profit performing arts group, Shakespeare From The Heart. (SFTH), will be performing their production of Romeo and Juliet on the outside campus of of our department, with good will proceeds benefiting animals in need.

It's a Feline Frenzy Summer where hundreds of adorable, adoptable cats and kittens are spruced up and purring to be adopted. It's a great time to adopt a healthy, vaccinated, spayed or neutered feline from the our shelter. Many of the available kittens have been under the care of volunteers in private foster homes where the kittens have been well-socialized. Best of all, they can be adopted at the Summer Feline Frenzy fee of $10, an opportunity made possible by an Animal Care & Control Commission grant. All cats and kittens will receive a microchip and local veterinary clinics donate the first wellness exam.

We are doing our best to save more lives with a $10 adoption fee, while easing the up-front expenses of adding a pet to the family. We encourage the community to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity made possible through this special donation-based grant.

Included in each adoption is the video, Training Your Adopted Cat to help families learn the responsible care needs of cats throughout their lives. We will evaluate the program's success and hope to be able to extend the offer beyond summer as donations to the program through the Animal Care & Control Commission permits.

Beginning the week of July 8th we will be closing our Pet Adoption Center on Mondays. Not the entire shelter, just the adoption center to walk in customers. People who adopt pets on Fridays and Saturdays will still be coming to our center on Mondays by appointment to take home the pet they adopted.
