WE HAVE KITTENS!!! Ark-Valley Humane Society has a few kittens still available for adoption and we will have more litters becoming available in the coming weeks, so if you are in the market for a feline companion, your local shelter is the place to go! All kittens are spayed or neutered before going home and have rabies and distemper series vaccinations. A "free" kitten could cost as much as $120 to vaccinate and sterilize so the shelter's kitten adoption fee of $65 is a bargain in today's tough economy. Our adoption application offers our guarantee of your satisfaction with the health of your new pet. Of course, a kitten needs a playmate, too, so why not take two for $100?

Sponsored Adoption Fees: A generous individual has donated money to partially sponsor several of our "special pets", waiting for homes. Please consider taking one of these animals into your heart and home;
