Riverside Co. Animal Services Offering $25 Cat Adoption Fees
The special will be offered until August 10 as an incentive to raise more awareness about the hundreds of cats that need homes.
From RCDAS: A special adoption rate starts today (July 10) for all cats at Riverside County Animal Services’ four shelter locations.
The special adoption fee of $25 for all cats 4 months of age and older is offered as an incentive to raise more
awareness about the hundreds of cats that need homes, said Frank Corvino, a deputy director who oversees
shelter and field services.
“We’ve been doing great in the dog-saving business in the past several years, but we’re struggling to keep
up with the abundance of homeless cats,” Corvino said.

“We all need to recognize and do our part to help save more cats,” Corvino said. “That, of course, starts
with more responsibility from our current cat owners. If a cat is unaltered, that owner is contributing to the
feline overpopulation problem. More cat owners need to get their pets spayed or neutered to help our
community see fewer cats impounded at local shelters.”
