County extends Waiver of cat adoption fees
Hernando County Animal Services has extended its waiver of cat adoption fees through the end of business hours June 29. Those who adopt cats or kittens at the shelter pay only a $20 deposit, which is refunded upon showing proof of sterilization and rabies vaccination. PetLuv Low Cost Spay & Neuter Clinic is currently providing those services free to those who adopt pets from Animal Services. All adopted cats receive a feline 4-in-1 vaccination and deworming at Animal Services. Hernando County residents also receive a free one-year Hernando County animal license for their cats upon proof of rabies vaccination. Visit the website at hernandocounty.us/code/animal/adopt.asp or visit the shelter at 19450 Oliver St. between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays, except for Mondays, when the shelter is open from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For information, call (352) 796-5062.
