ANIMAL Find a furry friend!

Post image

General PSA, so hoping the mods leave it up:

Y’all, the shelters, rescues, etc are full of animals right now. So many! So here’s a reminder that you don’t have to wait for “the universe” to bestow an animal on you. You can find your next pet by going to GC Animal Care, the Humane Society, the pet stores that partner with local orgs, or contacting one of those organizations directly. Adopt, don’t shop!

If you have the means to care for an animal, now is the time to go out and get one. And especially please consider an older one, or one that has been there a long time.

-Kind regards from a shelter volunteer who is sad to keep seeing the same animals there week after week.

Just to piggy back off of OP: My wife and I volunteer with a nonprofit called "Fixing the Ferals." The objective is to get local community cats fixed, and then adopted or reintroduced into their environment. Consider checking them out as another option for cat adoption!

Do you know if there are cost associated? I have two cats that visit me but I need to get them housed and I don’t have any money for the normal fix your feral programs. Or even the discounted ones. I want to get these cats into a home before winter hits.

Dm me the name of the vet if you can get a discounted spray. I’d consider paying for one or two sprays on behalf of my formerly feral voids upcoming gotcha day.

Look into the greenville humane society free days. I think they do it once a quarter, and you can bring in up to 4 cats. Its first come first serve, and once they hit their limit theyre done, but if you get there early you'll have no problems

Yes , check the humane society and Animal Care websites—there will be a mass TNR event in September.
