All cats and kittens adopted from Spalding County Animal Control come with a 50% discounted spay/neuter voucher, which includes a FREE rabies vaccination. All the cats and kittens also receive their fvrccp vaccination.
Please note that we have many beautiful cats and kittens in our Happy Tails section marked "FOS"--that means they are no longer at the shelter but have been rescued and placed in foster care. They are fully vetted and now available for permanent homes. Please take a look! Just click the Happy Tails link above and look for "FOS" beside the name of the cat or kitten.
Welcome to the Spalding County Animal Shelter home page. Here at Spalding County Animal Control, we have a vision—a vision we believe so strongly, we have made it our mission:
Our first and foremost goal is to ensure health and safety of the residents of Spalding County by controlling the population of unwanted animals—domesticated and otherwise.
Second, we strongly believe in the humane treatment of all animals. We put our best foot forward to ensure all animals are provided with adequate food, fresh water, and shelter. We also protect animals that have been fought, maliciously killed, injured, and permanently disfigured. By responding to your calls and through investigative efforts, we are able to charge and convict many cruelty offenders.
You can help reduce the number of unclaimed animals in shelters by taking the following steps:
Thank you for caring. Feel free to contact us for additional information.
Finally, we love to see our animals adopted. That is the most enjoyable part of our job. We have so many adoptable animals that want to go home and be a part of your family. Our adoptable animals are willing to give your family unconditional love and companionship. By adopting out animals to good homes, we have met the majority but not all of our goals.
In conclusion, our main job is animal control. It is our hope that you will see how much this entails. Without your help and your support our efforts are in vain.
