“Scrappy has already been neutered. He is a big boy but he is so cuddly. He loves everybody including kids and gets along well with dogs and other cats. He is just a good lap housecat,” said shelter employee Emmaly Bennett.
“He is up to date on all his vaccines and we are offering him at a special price of $20 to an approved application to find his perfect home,” added Shelter Director Megan Moore.
“We are still doing everything by appointment only. Give us a call and we can walk you through that process or visit our facebook page. You can find our adoption application at dekalbanimalcoalition.org. On the adopt tab scroll all the way to the bottom to find the application and send it to our email and we will call you and schedule an appointment,” said Bennett.
The shelter, located on Transfer Station Road behind Tenneco Automotive off Highway 70 east in Smithville, has been in operation since November, 2017 under the DeKalb Animal Coalition, a 501 c 3 non profit organization.
