Special Notice:
Due to the increase of cats/kittens in our care,
your donation of canned cat food and cat litter are
desperately needed and greatly appreicated!!
Consider adopting an older pet
They are more likely to be calm, and already housestrained.
Older pets still bring the same medical and emotional benefits
to their owners as younger animals do."

KAC personnel will accompany individuals interested in adopting a pet during the initial visit.
