Hot Off the Press:
What’s new at the shelter

Each June, with the help of Friends of the Shelter, the Bell County Animal Shelter celebrates Adopt-A-Cat Month by reducing the adoption fee on cats and kittens by one half.  The lucky cat adopter pays only $30.00, instead of the usual $60.00 adoption fee, and still gets all the great veterinary services that always accompany a shelter adoption, that is, a thorough exam at local veterinarian, vaccinations, de-worming, and spay or neuter.  FOS makes this great promotion possible by paying the balance of the fee for each adoption (the $60.00 adoption fee goes to pay the
veterinarian for their services). 

June is traditionally a time when animal shelters are overwhelmed with cats and kittens, and the Bell County Animal Shelter is no exception.  According to Jennifer Nagle, Director of the Bell County Animal Shelter, “It is not unusual for 10 to 20 cats and kittens to be brought into the shelter in one day during the summer months.  We are very grateful to Friends of the Shelter for their help in getting as many of these beautiful kittens and cats adopted as possible.”

Max's Pet Supply on Highway 33 in Tazewell, Tennessee, has also been an Adopt-A-Cat Month supporter.  Paul Dean and Denise Adkins, owners of Max's Pet Supply, have opened their doors to kittens from the Bell Co. Animal Shelter during June, adopting five!  Three gorgeous orange tabby male kittens remain at Max's and FOS is extending the Adopt-A-Cat special on these kittens only, so hurry!

Students from Lincoln Memorial University’s Vet Tech and pre-vet programs continue to visit the shelter, furthering a cooperative relationship between the two. Currently LMU assists with various medical and grooming procedures on an occasional basis.
