If you have been thinking about adopting a fur baby, now is the purr-fect time to do it!
Melton council has a large number of cats and kittens at its animal pound looking for a loving home, and for a short time the adoption fee has been reduced to just $50.
All animals are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and registered until April 10 for City of Melton residents.
Melton council community safety manager Phil Lovelace said there were a number of cats and kittens the council was keen to rehome.
“We have recently had quite a few cats and kittens surrendered to us and after going through our usual process of making sure they are fit and healthy, they are now ready to be rehomed,” he said.
“We have been running our $50 cat adoption campaign for just over a week now and I’m please to say a number of cats have already found loving homes. However, there are still quite a few more we’d love to see do the same.”
The animal pound also accepts donations of blankets, towels and newspapers to help keep furry friends comfortable (no sheets pillows or doonas). These can be dropped off directly to the pound during open hours.
You can see the cats and kittens available and read their bios online at melton.vic.gov.au/animal-adoption or visit the pound at 90-92 High Street Melton between 9.30am-11am and 3pm-4.30pm, seven days a week (excluding public holidays).
