The Charles County Commissioners and the Tri-County Animal Shelter are pleased to announce that they will be holding a very special baby shower for the new kittens at the shelter who are waiting for their new homes.

The shower will be held on Saturday, June 23, at the Tri-County Animal Shelter, 6707 Animal Shelter Road, Hughesville, from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.

In addition to being available for adoption, the kittens are looking for the public to bring them some gifts. The shelter will gladly accept donations of kitten food, kitty milk, soft blankets, and toys. All of these items will help to ensure that the kittens have a nice stay at the shelter while they wait to be adopted.

In addition to the shower, June is Adopt-A-Cat Month and the regular cat and kitten adoption fee has been reduced to $45 for the month. Unlike kittens offered for "free," cats and kittens adopted from the Tri-County Animal Shelter are spayed/neutered, tested for feline leukemia, and given a physical by a veterinarian to assure they are healthy before they go home with their new owners.

For more information about the baby shower, items accepted for donation, how to adopt a new pet, or how to volunteer your time at the shelter, please call 301- 932-1713 or 1-800-903-1992, or visit the Tri-County Animal Shelter web site at http://www.charlescounty.org/es/animalcontrol.
