Ellijay, GA – As of the end of May, the Gilmer County Animal Shelter reported 130 cats/kittens taken into the shelter according to Director Daniel Laukka.

Of those 130 cats and kittens, Laukka stated that only three required euthanizing. Two of them were requested by owners of the animals, the final one was necessary due to injuries.

This result means that the Gilmer Animal Shelter has found homes or other means of care or transfer for cats coming into the shelter. The work has been done so well, that no cat was euthanized for space.

Laukka praised the Friends of the Gilmer Animal Shelter (FOGAS) as well as all citizens who aid the Animal Shelter for all their aid and support to accomplish such a feat.

This does not mean, however, that the shelter has no cats or kittens for adoption. People are still needed for those animals left in need of homes and families. Make sure to call (706)635-2166 for the Gilmer Animal Shelter to set up a time to visit your future animals and plan your adoption today.
