So please be sure to be waiting in the parking lot after we open- we will not be able to hold your place **Checking in does NOT guarantee that the animal you are interested in will be available - our adoptions are still 'first come, first serve' in the sense that each patron gets the pick of any animals still available.

UPDATE: Adopted!! Natasha was brought to the shelter on December 30th after being found near someone's home. We noticed right away that she had a limp. After being x-rayed, we found out that she had a severe break in her leg. Her right rear leg was amputated by the vet in our surgery and she is doing amazing! (Because of this amputation, she must be an inside only cat) Natasha is 5 months old and an absolute lovebug. She is definitely a sweet girl because even with her painf...ul broken leg she was a doll baby! She loves to give kisses, gentle headbutts and also enjoys being held in your arms for as long as she possibly can stay there! She also loves to play. She can move around almost as well as a cat with 4 legs. Check out more about Natasha here: https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/30341899-canton-georgia-cat

Your furries depend on you!! Please wear your mask and stay safe - for them
