Double your pleasure, double your fun!

If there is anything that could be better than owning one kitten, it would be having two

Meet “Darbin” and “Sherlock”, the WJLE/DeKalb Animal Shelter featured “Pets of the Week”

“Both of these sweet babies were found abandoned. They are not siblings but they have taken up with each other and they are best friends. We would love to see them adopted together but its not the end of the world if you are just looking for one kitten. However, they do love each other and other cats. They are about four months old. They have had their first kitten booster with flea prevention on board and they will be neutered before they leave the shelter. They are super playful and super happy little kittens so if that is what you are looking for their adoption fee is only $40,” said Shelter Director Emmaly Bennett

“Visit our website at https://www.dekalbanimalsheltertn.com/ to see their pictures, fill out an adoption application and we will call you to come in and meet them,” said Bennett.

The shelter is open Monday-Friday from 8 to 4 and Saturday from 8 to 12 at 186 Transfer Station Road.
