The Animal Welfare Society of Jefferson County is in dire need to find homes for kittens and cats. This “kitten season,” which began in late winter and has continued through summer, has left the shelter with 48 kittens. Some have been adopted, but others are ready for their new homes and AWS is offering a discount for the month of October.

Adoption fees include testing them for feline leukemia and FIV (AIDS), vaccinations, deworming, ear cleaning, flea checks, spay/neutering and microchipping for identification. All of these services will be provided with an adoption fee of only $29.99 or two for $45. A feline assortment of colors and personalities await potential adoptive candidates.
