URGENT: Shelter is full! 19 cats up for adoption. Only 12 cages.

The Lakewood Animal Shelter is at FULL CAPACITY with cats and kittens available for adoption. CCLAS has placed several of the adoptable cats in foster homes to free up cages at the shelter, but what we really need is to find homes for these sweet animals THIS WEEKEND. All adult cats at the shelter or in foster care are only $15 this Friday and Saturday! Everyone available for adoption has been either spayed or neutered, received an initial vaccination plus treated with flea prevention medicine.

Amazing cats like Hera, Quincy, Martha, Lizzy and Trouble are waiting for their furever homes...but they can't wait forever! Stop into the shelter between noon and 4:00 p.m. or visit our Adopt-A-Pet album, to see our current list of adoptables. Can you, or someone you know, rescue one of these felines, or maybe offer up a foster home?

Emergency c-section for a mama kitty

On Friday morning, a sweet tabby cat at the shelter went into labour.

Unfortunately the young adult cat was in serious distress, her first kitten became stuck in the birth canal and sadly didn't make it. CCLAS rushed her to West Park Animal, where they performed an emergency c-section, because a second kitty was also stuck and feared dead.

Mama was in a lot of pain, but she and her four kittens survived the surgery. The family of five will be transferred to foster care this week.

Please visit http://www.cclas.info/vetcare.html if you would like to make a donation toward their surgery and post-op expenses. We encourage you to like us on Facebook, to follow along with their care. #1lkwd #sheltercat
