The Animal Care Shelter for Kent County

10/30/2026

IMPORTANT: Cat and kitten intake is now limited to sick or injured cats and kittens only.

We currently have 137 cats and kittens in our care, and we are completely out of cat kennel space. Because of this, we have to move to emergency-only intake until space becomes available.

Our TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program will continue as normal.

This is a difficult position to be in, and we need our community’s help. We have 53 cats and kittens available for adoption, and we've waived all cat and kitten adoption fees until we have room to breathe again. Fosters are urgently needed, too.

Please consider adopting, fostering, or sharing this post. Every cat who leaves for a home helps us make room for another who needs us.

October is almost over. Their search for a family isn’t. 🧡🐾

There are still cats, kittens, pitties, and pittie mixes at ACSKC waiting for someone to say, “That’s the one.”

Today and tomorrow are the final days of our October waived-fee adoption special! If you’ve had your eye on someone, reach out. Our team would love to tell you more about them and help you find a good fit.

Browse our available animals and submit an adoption application. Your next chapter together could start with a hello.

Not adopting? A share could help their person find them. 🎃

It's National Cat Day, and we're begging our community for help.

Today alone, 16 kittens and one adult cat came through our doors.

We are not exaggerating when we say WE ARE AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY.

This tiny bottle baby is one of today's arrivals, and we HAVE FOUND A FOSTER FOR HIM!

But the need goes far beyond this kitten. We need fosters. We need adopters. We need YOU.

Every foster home opens up space. Every adoption makes a difference. Every share helps us reach someone who can help.

Please. We are genuinely begging our community to step up. We cannot do this alone.

It’s National Cat Day, and our pumpkin patch is accepting adoption applications! 🎃🧡

Meet Cloud, Bubble Boy, Prince, Kyle, Autozam, Telemundo, Destruction, and Corruption!

We have cuddly. We have mischievous. We have shy. But they all have one giant thing in common: ORANGE.

🧡 Cloud & Bubble Boy: Our senior gentlemen.
🧡 Kyle & Prince: Just over a year old.
🧡 Autozam, Telemundo, Destruction & Corruption: Our under-one crowd.

Corruption is the only girl in this orange delegation, and we suspect she has some opinions about that. 😂

Two of our boys need a little extra consideration: Prince requires c/d food, and Bubble Boy has allergies. Our team can explain their care needs and help you decide whether you’re a good match.

Whether you’re looking for a senior companion or a younger partner in nonsense, come get to know our orange crew!

Adoption fees for ALL cats and kittens are waived through October 31. Submit an adoption application and pick your pumpkin! 🐾

352 days. Still here. Still a character. 💛

Please share Oatie. He’s less than two weeks away from a full year at the shelter, and we’re still waiting for someone to ask about making him theirs.

At about three years old, Oatie has a permanent pout, a big personality, and a firm belief that every person he meets should be delighted to see him. Around here, he’s also figured out who needs a little extra convincing that the rules apply to him. 😂

We love this dog. We know his goofy side, his playful side, and the side that occasionally needs a reminder to mind his manners. And thanks to his time in foster, we know he can walk into a home, claim a couch, and settle in like he’s always belonged.

He’ll need people who enjoy an enthusiastic dog and can give him consistent guidance. He enjoys other playful dogs, and kids 12 and up would be his best fit—little kids’ excitement tends to multiply his own!

We’ll keep showing up here for Oatie every week. But what we really want is to post that he finally went home.

Interested in meeting him? Submit an adoption application or contact ACSKC to learn more. And please share—352 days is a long time to wait for your person. 🐾
