EXTENDED! Adoption fees for ALL Lonely Hearts Club pets have been WAIVED through Sunday, August 16th! Help us give these Lonely Hearts the loving homes they deserve.

Home for the Holidays Adoption Special

Fri. Dec 5th, 2025 to Thu. Dec 18th, 2025

Help us make room and celebrate the season by giving a cat or kitten a cozy place to call home! Recently, we admitted over 90 cats, and our cages are FULL! By adopting one of our available cats, you’re helping us make room for others in need.

Now through December 18th, we’re offering a limited time adoption special to help more cats find homes.

Kittens younger than six months - 50% off adoption fees
Cats six months and older - fees are WAIVED

Please note, adoptions at DCHS are first come, first served. If you’re interested in a specific animal, don’t wait—come adopt them as soon as you can!
