Pet of the Week: Kittens and Rabies Awareness Week
All pets adopted at the Women's Humane Society between Sept. 27 and Oct. 1 will receive a free rabies vaccination.
In honor of Rabies Awareness Week, the Women's Humane Society has decided to waive the rabies vaccination fee for all pets adopted between Tuesday, Sept. 27 and Saturday, Oct. 1.
If you adopted a young pet and the rabies shot is not due yet, the fee would be waived on your return visit. If you adopted a very young pet, you'd pay the $30 exam fee but the Humane Society would waive the $21 rabies shot fee, Adoptions Counselor and Volunteers Manager Kelly VanValkenburgh said.
The two cats featured have been adopted, but the Humane Society has many kittens that still need good homes.

The minimum amount it would cost to adopt a kitten from the society is $70 – a $20 donation for the animal and a $50 deposit for the spaying or neutering cost. Also, they recommend that you have your cat tested for feline leukemia and AIDS. This test brings the fees to $100, she said.
Also, during the week of Halloween the shelter will not adopt out any black cats to prevent people from buying them as props.
