These adoptions were largely facilitated through our website, although some were contracted through word of mouth or other ways. Many of the cats listed under the feral program were also essentially "adopted" by their caregivers as they agreed to feed them rather than take them to Animal Control. These ferals are not listed under our adoption numbers.

Due to limited finances, we have chosen to close our Adoption Center on Railroad Avenue. We have made the decision to use our resources to continue promoting the number one solution to our pet overpopulation problem - and that is spay/neuter. We offer spay/neuter vouchers to low or fixed-income families in Rutherford County. We are available to you at our phone number - 828-286-0222. Our mailing address is still PO Box 998, Rutherfordton, NC 28139.

Our website (http://rutherfordcountyhumanesociety.org) is always current, and you can contact us through the web. You will receive a prompt reply. We have adoptable pets posted on the site. If you need to find a home for a pet, you may contact us to have your pet posted on our website. We also post on Petfinders.com.

As always, we welcome your financial support. We appreciate you as a Humane Society member for your continued support which makes our work possible.
