*****************************************************

Donations Needed! We are currently in need of dry kitten food because we have so many kittens that the demand far outweighs our current supply. And don't throw away that old nylon dog collar! If you have any that your pet has outgrown the shelter can use them. We appreciate all of the community's help and support and are so lucky to have so many committed volunteers and donors. Thank you!

WE HAVE MORE KITTENS!!! Ark-Valley Humane Society has a few kittens still available for adoption and we will have more litters becoming available in the coming weeks, so if you are in the market for a feline companion, your local shelter is the place to go! All kittens are spayed or neutered before going home and have rabies and distemper series vaccinations. A "free" kitten could cost as much as $120 to vaccinate and sterilize so the shelter's kitten adoption fee of $65 is a bargain in today's tough economy. Our adoption application offers our guarantee of your satisfaction with the health of your new pet. Of course, a kitten needs a playmate, too, so why not take two for $100?

Barn Cats Need Homes: Since the fall of 2007, over 100 cats have been processed through Ark-Valley Humane Society's Feral Cat Program. The success of the Trap-Neuter-Return program revolves around (1.) controlling feral cat populations and (2.) preventing the needless killing of feral cats that cannot be adopted as pets. Although relocation is not the best option for feral cats, it does allow these felines at least a chance at a 'home' and life. If you can provide basic care (shelter, food and water) for a vaccinated and sterilized feral cat, please contact the shelter today and help save a life.

Board Members Needed! The Ark-Valley Humane Society has several openings on our Board of Directors. This is a great volunteer opportunity for someone that really wants to make a difference in their community through shaping the future direction of our shelter. We need people with a drive to succeed through action and participation and a vision for making Chaffee County a better place through the services that we provide to residents and their companion animals. Come be a part of it! Contact the shelter for details or send an e-mail to shelterdirector@chaffeewireless.net .
