Please check them out. They really try to find the best match for you and the perfect pet for you. This is a NO KILL SHELTER!!! LOVE this place and would highly reccomend.

After losing our beloved cat Lotus of 10 years, we decided it was time to get a kitten. After a decade of true rescue and rehabilitation we decided on a kitten we could raise without traumatic experiences we needed to work on. Although, it can be done! I have had experience with several animal facilities, animal caretakers and animal organizations throughout the last decade. I called ten shelters in Maine before finally reaching Waterville Humane Society and luckily finding a very small, male, neutered kitten. It was important he was neutered before he came home (even though he would be indoor only) because even the shelters are having difficulty getting appointments for animals to be spayed/neutered by Veterinarians in Maine. I spoke to a friendly employee at noon stating they had 8 kittens, but we had to travel about two hours to the shelter and kittens go fast. They could not hold one, but allowed me to do my application online and told me as long at we got there at 4pm (their closing time) they would process us. We got there at 3pm, the staff was friendly, greeted us, took us to a clean room of non caged and socialized cats where only about half the kittens were still available. We found exactly what we were looking for and then some. We had no idea it was a polydactyl, fixed male, likely Bengal mix. We already have one Bengal mix and love the breed. The staff did our paperwork in a timely manner and took the time to explain every detail. They were all friendly. The cost covered neutering, all shots except rabies (due to age), flea treatments (not a one on him), deworming, ear cleaning, microchip, and a voucher for the first well check at a Veterinarian. I especially liked their contract including declawing is inhumane and it is not supported by WHS, by signing you agree not to have it done. It also included a portion on rehoming and contacting them if you decide to do so. Our healthy kitten immediately settled into our home and was just days over 8 weeks old. The entire experience was five star.

Is there s program for spaying cats at a lower cost? My granddaughter has a cat who needs to be spayed, but she has 4 children and is the sole support for her family. She just can't afford the high cost to have her cat spayed.

Simone Engelhardt | Aug 19, 2019
Kevin Kerby | Aug 19, 2019

Yes there is a program for voucher assistance program. However the voucher saves 50$ for females and 25$ for males. But the cost is upwards to 200$ so not much of a savings. They do have a clinical program during the year where you can take and have your cat spayed for like 50$ total. So Simone Engelhardt tell your daughter to check on that I think this would be your daughters best option especially to save lots of money. Good luck KEV K...

If you call the shelters and let them know with a description, they can tell you whether she is there or not. Much quicker. Plaquemine Parish should be able to tell you where they sent her.
