Chico Animal Shelter offers free adoptions, pet services amid overcrowding in February


On Friday, January 31, Chico Animal Shelter (CAS) announced they are waiving adoption fees to help find loving homes for animals in need at the shelter.

In a press release, CAS said the initiative runs from Saturday, February 1 – Friday, February 28 and aims to alleviate overcrowding at the shelter and give more animals a chance at finding their fur-ever home.

The waived fee includes; spay/neuter surgery, current vaccinations, Feline Leukemia Virus testing for cats or heartworm testing for dogs.

Additionally, the shelter said they offer free pet ID tags, and a one-year licensing fee for Chico residents, as well as microchipping services to help families reunite with lost pets more quickly.

CAS said with a rise in animal intakes over the past year, they encourage fostering as a meaningful way to support shelter pets. Foster volunteers provide temporary care, easing the burden on staff and giving animals a break from the shelter environment.
