Items accepted are non-perishable foods such as canned or boxed goods, paper products and cleaning supplies. Monetary donations are also appreciated.

 Cats are receiving veterinary care and are being spayed or neutered. Many are malnourished and will be kept at GCHS through this week for observation. They will then be available for placement in new homes.

GCHS requires all outdoor homes provide adequate food, water and shelter for animals. An on-site inspection is also required. Anyone interested in providing a home for one or more of the rescued cats should contact GCHS at 325-9600 for details.

Even before the rescue, GCHS had extremely high cat numbers, resulting in overcrowding at the shelter. GCHS is currently running special prices on cats to encourage adoptions: Cat adoptions are currently 2-for-1, or half-price for a single animal. The adoption fee for senior citizens wishing to adopt an older dog or cat is also being waived in lieu of a donation to the shelter.
