ADOPT A CAT & Save a Life
The SPCA of N. Brevard, as a No-Kill organization, is trying hard to move animals, especially cats, out of shelters that aren't No-Kill and to get them adopted into Forever Homes. Tell your friends & family and come down to adopt an adorable fur-ball who will love you unconditionally & relax you with purrs.
Concerning Animal Shelters
BEWARE - Not all Shelters are "No-Kill" Shelters. This means if a pet/animal is brought to their shelter and is not adopted out in a very timely manner, the animal WILL be Euthanized (Killed). Therefore, ALWAYS ask if the shelter you are considering is a "No-Kill" shelter BEFORE you bring in your pet/animal.
ALSO - Many shelters who refer to themselves as "No-Kill" actually mean that they don't euthanize (kill) any animal that is healthy and adoptable. If the animal is sick, injured or considered un-adoptable - they send the animal to another facility to be euthanized (killed). Make sure you ask the shelter what their policy really is concerning "No-Kill."
NOTE - Many "No-Kill" shelters have a quota and may not have space available at the time you call. Ask them if they can wait-list you for your pet's admission. It's important that you plan ahead in order to avoid having to place your pet in a shelter that euthanizes (kills) un-adoptable animals.
To find a No-Kill Animal Shelter near you, please go to this site:
