**URGENT KITTEN SAFETY MESSAGE** Found kittens and not sure what to do?!? Do not bring them to the shelter immediately. The shelter is currently overwhelmed with litters of very young kittens being brought in without their mamas, and it is impacting the safety of these kittens. Please call our staff first so we can help assess the situation and advise on what is best for the kittens.If you have found newborn or young kittens, please leave them alone! Mama cats are very protective of their kittens and rarely abandon them; if you don’t see the mama, they are probably close by their babies and will be back soon. Newborn kittens are especially vulnerable when separated from their mamas, and will struggle to survive without them.Want to help our kittens?!? We are seeing unprecedented numbers of kittens being brought into our shelter. We urgently needs donations of non-clumping kitty litter, wet kitten food, and dry kitten food; donations can be dropped off or shipped directly to our shelter.

What a fantastic week for cat adoptions and this very "lucky" senior pup!!! We are getting close to breaking all-time records for cat adoptions, as our community continues to choose Metro Animal Shelter as the purrfect place to adopt a house cat, kitten, or barn cat.

And let's talk about this amazing adoption story... we recently had an elderly, blind malamute come into the shelter after being found by a kindhearted passerby. After several days of searching for the owner(s) with no results, we were worried about finding a home for this special needs senior. And then a miracle happened. The same people who found him wandering around Edgewood reached out to us with an incredible offer to adopt him 💙 With his new name "Lucky", this fluffy guy is now off living his best life with his new family. Thank you Mindy and Gary for opening your hearts and your home - you are appreciated beyond words!

This unique girl is still with us, after nearly two months in the shelter. Ceyda's breed and natural instincts require a very specialized adopter or rescue -- she needs to live on a ranch/farm property where she can flourish as a large livestock guardian. Ceyda is good with our staff and volunteers, but needs to be living in an environment away from small children and access to small animals including cats and chickens.

Our adoption team would love to connect with a working dog rescue organization or potential adopters to help get Ceyda out of the shelter and onto a farm where she can shine. Do you know of one? Send us a private message or comment below!
