Door County Humane Society Featured Pets

The Door County Humane Society (DCHS) is offering $10 off the adoption fee for cats who came to the shelter in 2010. Of the 92 cats at the DCHS, 40 came in last year. It is time for this “Class of 2010” to graduate to the next phase of their lives – a happy new home. On the cusp of May, the shelter expects their intake numbers will increase. Sixty cats arrived at the shelter in May 2010 when “kitten season” was underway.

As an adoption guarantee shelter, the DCHS will keep an adoptable animal for as long it takes for the right family to discover him/her. However, to encourage a discussion about adopting a worthy, loving, healthy cat, the adoption fee is reduced by $10 to $75. Many of the available 2010 cats are free roaming in the lobby, meaning that they get along with other cats and visitors. All cats are healthy, vaccinated, and spayed/neutered.

Demonstrating the range of cat characteristics from which to select (age, color, energy level), here are two from the 2010 Yearbook.

Bambi is between one to two years old. A shorthair, tabby/tortoiseshell female, Bambi has been at the shelter since May 6, 2010.

Sofia is an eight-year-old female who has declawed front paws. She came to the shelter after her owner passed away in March 2010.

Adoption costs are generally $85 for cats and kittens, $120 for dogs, and $60 for puppies. The Door County Humane Society, located at 3475 Park Drive (County PD) 
in Sturgeon Bay, is open for adoption Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 
from noon – 4 pm. For more information call 920.746.1111 or visit http://www.dooranimals.com.
