KEEP YOUR CATS SAFE AT HOME: HSUS's SAFE CATS CAMPAIGN
Cats are America's most popular pets, but they are also the pets most likely to die prematurely from diseases, poisons, attacks by other animals, abuse by humans, or speeding vehicles. The reason is simple: Owners often don't realize that allowing their cat to roam outdoors can be a one-way ticket to trouble.
Millions of cats suffer and die because their owners give them free reign to roam the neighborhood. The vast majority of these owners aren't cruel or thoughtless; many love their animals as much as the rest of us. They just believe that cats are happiest outdoors. In fact, many cat caregivers acquired their felines by "taking in" or caring for someone's cat who was allowed to stray. For the complete story and tips on how to keep your indoor cat happy, please go to Safe Cats Campaign.
Shelter Information
We are the City of Richardson's Animal Shelter. We handle all stray, unwanted and abandoned animals living in Richardson. You can learn more about us by visiting our web page Richardson Animal Services.
We are open to the public seven days a week. Monday through Friday from 8:00am until 7:00pm, Saturdays from 9:00am until 5:00pm, and Sundays from 1:00pm until 5:00pm.
Adopting a Pet
The adoption fees are $15 for adult animals and $3 for any animals under the age of six months. The adopter must also sign a contract to have the animal vaccinated against rabies within 10 days (at 12 weeks of age for puppies and kittens) and neutered within 30 days (by 7 months of age for puppies and kittens). Written certification of these procedures from a licensed veterinarian is required to fulfil the adoption contract.
