The holidays have come and gone but many homeless shelter pets are still waiting for their forever homes. January’s Blue Light Special at Lee County Domestic Animal Services will shine the spotlight on the exceptional pets that were overlooked during the holidays, said Ria Brown, a spokeswoman with the Shelter.

She said adopters can take home an adult cat for just $19.99 and get a second cat or kitten free. Adult dogs are only $29.99. All adoptions include the same veterinary services as full-priced adoptions.

“We had an unusually high intake of cats in December,” said Glenn Johnson, LCDAS operations manager. “Because we had so many animals for adopters to choose from, many highly adoptable pets were overlooked.”

At LCDAS the adoption fee covers spay or neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccinations, de-worming, flea treatment, heartworm test for dogs six months and older, feline aids and leukemia test for cats, Lee County pet license for pets three months and older, microchip ID, a 10-day health guarantee, and a bag of Science Diet pet food. The adoption package is a $500 value, Brown said.
