ABOUT
The North Kingstown Animal Shelter is a division of the North Kingstown Police Department. We take in a wide variety of animals, mainly cats and dogs, but at any given time you may also find birds, rabbits, snakes, or other small pets such as guinea pigs. Please check back with us regularly to see who is currently staying with us!
MISSION
Our mission is to provide a healthy, safe, and caring environment for each animal in our keeping, and ultimately to place them in loving “forever homes.” We fulfill our mission by ensuring that each animal is spayed or neutered prior to adoption, and also by providing other medical care and comfort items for the animals.SPAY & NEUTER
Spaying or neutering your cat is now required by law! Information on this new law can be found here.
You may also qualify for low-cost spay and neuter procedures, offered locally by the Salmon River Veterinarian, LLC. For more information, including spay and neuter dates and locations, please visit Salmon River Veterinarian's website, and call (401) 793-0092 for appointments.

Cash For Critters
This program helps raise money for the animals, and it's also good for the environment! Please recycle your old ink jet cartridges, laser printer cartridges, or digital cell phones (working or not). They can be dropped off at the following locations:
North Kingstown Animal Shelter
North Kingstown Town Hall Annex
North Kingstown Police Station
Honey Dew Donuts, North Kingstown
Critter Hut, North Kingstown
There are more than 250 different ink jets on the market; we can turn most of them in for cash. However, there are a few styles we cannot send for payment (for instance, we cannot accept any cartridge that has a sticker showing it has previously been recycled). If you can't drop off your used cartridges, save them till you have a few, then call us at 294-6899, and we will arrange for a pickup.
