Discount Kitties: Sand Springs Shelter offering $40 adoptions to save lives

Sand Springs Animal Welfare is currently offering a discounted rate of $40 to adopt cats and kittens at the shelter.

Shelters across the state are over capacity due to an influx of Spring kittens. Rescues are full, foster parents are overwhelmed, and many animals are facing a do-or-die situation. Sand Springs is currently completely full of both cats and dogs. 

The City of Sand Springs adopted an ordinance mandating the spaying and neutering of all cats and dogs inside of City limits, but it could take years for rescue workers to see an impact. 

Shelter pets come spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped, registered with the City, and up to date on all age-appropriate shots. 

Adults 18 and older can adopt animals by presenting a valid driver's license or government-issued ID. Adoption usually comes with a $65 fee to cover the animals' medical needs, but at present time the City is hoping to simply avoid euthanizing. 

Sand Springs Animal Welfare is located at 8620 West 21st Street and is open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. seven days a week.
