ALACHUA COUNTY, FL - Alachua County Animal Services (ACAS) is celebrating the American Humane Association's national Adopt-A-Cat Month this June encouraging people to enrich their lives by adopting a cat. Spring and summer months typically bring a surge of cats to local shelters and rescue groups. ACAS subscribes to the online service www.petharbor.com, where stray and adoptable cats (and dogs) are posted and can be viewed online. Adoptions at the shelter begin at 9:30 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays (the shelter is closed on Sundays and Mondays).
"When cats are not neutered or spayed, they easily reproduce, and the spring and summer is that time of year when cats are more active, resulting in more kittens showing up at our doors," says ACAS director David Flagler. "We encourage people to visit and meet all the great cats we have here. They're all looking for good, permanent homes."
