San Andreas, CA…Meet Shadow and Buster, a bonded pair of eight-year old brothers. Both shorthaired, Shadow is the all black and Buster the black and white. They have never been outdoors or apart and for their own well being, it’s important they be adopted together. These handsome boys arrived at the shelter because their owner passed and no family member was able to care for them. Understandably stressed after losing their human momma, their world was turned upside down. Friendly and sweet though on the shy side after all they’ve been through, both have made tremendous progress with the patience of shelter staff and volunteers. These precious kitties will need a calm home with a cat-savvy person who can provide consistent love and attention, allowing them time to adjust and become truly contented kitties once again.

As with all cats available for adoption at the Calaveras Animal Shelter, both Shadow and Buster are up-to-date on their routine vaccinations and have been micro-chipped. If their adopter is age 55 or older, they’re also eligible for a greatly reduced adoption fee (see below). Best of all, they’re already neutered and ready to go home with you today!

Come visit Shadow and Buster, impound nos. AO50821 and AO50822, and other cats and dogs awaiting their forever homes at Calaveras County Animal Services, 901 Jeff Tuttle Drive, San Andreas (in government center by the new jail). Animal Services is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday – Saturday (closed for lunch from 1-2 p.m.). For more information about these kitties, please email Animal Services volunteer Cynthia at clpino@caltel.com, Kathy at kbandy.co.calaveras.ca.us or call Animal Services directly at 754-6509. Please refer to Buster and Shadow’s impound numbers when making inquiries. Adoptable animals may also be viewed on the web at http://animal.calaverasgov.us/Adoptions and on the Calaveras County Animal Services Facebook page.

Volunteers are also desperately needed. Whether you can give a little time or a lot, we could use your help caring for shelter animals or in the office. No experience necessary; we will provide training and match you to your interests. Please call 754-6509 for more information.

Animal Services now has a Fee Flexibility Program!
When the dog or cat population at the shelter is at 80% or above capacity, the total adoption fee will be 50% off––reduced to $40 for dogs and $30 for cats. The adoption fee for cats who arrive at the shelter already altered will be $10. With the 55-5-5 Program, any time an adopter is 55 or older and adopts any pet over 5 years old, the adoption fee is $5.
