Lee County issued the following announcement on Oct. 27.
Celebrate Adopt a Senior Pet Month this November at Lee County Domestic Animal Services by adding a four-legged friend to your family and opening your home and heart
to an older dog or cat. While small kittens and puppies may be hard to resist, older pets are just as loving and loyal. Not to
mention grown-up pets have many advantages:
They don’t require the constant monitoring that puppies and kittens do.
Many already are housetrained.
Since senior pets are fully grown, you’ll be immediately aware of important information like personality type and grooming requirements, so you can choose the perfect pet for your
family. Adoption fees will be reduced for the entire month of November on senior pets. Dogs 6 years and older are just $20 to adopt; cats are $10. In addition, cats are two-for-one;
adopt one and take home a second feline friend at no additional charge. The adoption package includes spay or neuter, microchip, up-to-date vaccinations, county license and a
10-day health guarantee. This is a $500 package. Volunteers and staff are waiting to introduce your new family member to you. Just stop by the adoption center 10:30 a.m.-3:30
p.m. Monday through Saturday at 5600 Banner Drive in Fort Myers. Visit the website www.leelostpets.com to see pets available for adoption.
