We have some new kittens who need to gain weight, get their shots and be spayed and neutered.
Meet Bernie (orange tabby) and Barbara Jean – the Southern Princess…they are too CUTE!  However, they will not be adoptable for another 10 week

If you are in need of a kitty fix and can’t make up your mind — TRY FOSTERING.  The Beaufort Country Animal Shelter (BCAS) desperately needs foster families. It is kitten season and they are inundated.  Please open your heart and home to some of these homeless kittens. Contact BCAS on 843-255-5010 prompt 1 for more information.

Microchips

Micro-chip your pet now before he/she goes missing.  Be proactive…With one in three pets getting lost in their lifetime, ensure that your pet (dogs AND cats) is microchipped. There is a greater chance of a happy reunion if your lost pet is microchipped.  Microchipping is available through the Beaufort County Animal Shelter for a small fee.  If your pet is chipped, make sure the company has your current contact information.  This internet-based company will help rescuers find you without having to know which company made your chip –  Pet Microchip lookup.
