Humane Society offers special rate for cat adoptions

Dogs play at Wood County Humane Society.

To accommodate higher feline intake numbers during summer months, The Wood County Humane Society will be hosting a Feline Frenzy Adoption Special. From now until the end of July, all adult cats aged 7 months and older can be adopted for a fee of $5. All kittens aged 6 months and younger can be adopted for a fee of $25. All animals adopted from The WCHS have been spayed/neutered, have received age-appropriate vaccinations and a microchip, and have undergone an initial de-working as well as booster doses.

Regular adoption fees are $90 for any cat under 6 months old and $70 for any cat over one year old.

Summer months witness greater numbers of feline intakes in the sheltering industry because warmer weather means more strays roaming freely and more cats in heat. Those two factors combined lead to a dramatic increase in the number of kittens born during the spring and summer months, and the number of felines that are brought into shelters. The public can help curb this problem by spaying and neutering their pets and neighborhood cats.

The WCHS, located in Bowling Green, is a private, non-profit managed admission shelter providing care for homeless and abused pets and investigating cruelty complaints in Wood
County. The organization receives no funding from The United Way, or national humane organizations, instead relying on earned revenue and the generosity of individual donors and businesses to fund our programs such as Safe Haven and food assistance programs, spay/neuter transport, and educational presentations. The WCHS provides care for hundreds of animals each year– -from dogs and cats, to horses, goats, and pocket pets. All animals admitted into our adoption program are housed and cared for as long as it takes to find their fur-ever home.
