No Adoption Fees for Adult Cats
RCHS will not charge an adoption fee for cats one year old or older.
We are launching our "fee-waiver" program
because we want to give these adult cats every chance to find the
great homes they deserve. If you wish to adopt 2 cats aged 1
year old or older the fee for the second cat will be $70. All other adoption policies and
guidelines apply. Please contact the shelter at 483.6700 with
any questions.

To help the animals in our care minimize stress-related digestive
problems, we have partnered with Hill's Science Diet to feed our
dogs and cats only Science Diet dry food. This will ensure a
high-quality, consistent diet while they are at RCHS and we
recommend it to our adopters. The program provides the food for free
which is another benefit!

RCHS at Rutland's Hannaford!
The Hannaford store in
Rutland is focusing on RCHS during the month of August!
They will host a cutest pet contest and customers can donate
and purchase gently used books. Their associates will
also do events to raise money for RCHS. If you have
gently used books for the book sale please drop them off at
the Hannaford in Rutland. While you're there you can

RCHS Partners with VT-CAN to get Rutland County Cats Spayed &
Neutered!
Vermont
Companion Animal
Neutering (VT-CAN), a low cost spay/neuter clinic
located in Middlesex, VT, is a long drive from Rutland
County. To help out, RCHS and VT-CAN are working together
to make it easier for you. By dropping your cat at RCHS,
volunteers will transport your cat to VT-CAN where he or she
will be spayed or neutered and given a rabies shot and
returned to RCHS later that day. Wednesday, October 6 is
the available date. To learn more
click here. To register call the shelter at 483.6700.

Hot Weather Tips to Keep your Pets Safe!
Pets need special care in the hot, summer months. When
the temperature rises dogs and cats should be inside, with
air conditioning or fans, or in the shade if they're
outside. All animals need access to lots of clean,
cold water to help them stay hydrated. Be careful not
to over exercise them especially when it's very hot.
Walks in the early morning and later in the evening with
short walks during the day are best. Do not leave your
animals alone in a parked car! Even with the windows
open on a hot day it can become very hot very quickly which
could lead to fatal heat stroke. Dogs will enjoy a dip
in a pool, pond, lake or even a small plastic pool and it
will help them cool off and feel more comfortable. Not
all dogs are strong swimmers so keep an eye on them and make
sure they don't stay in too long. Special care should
be taken for overweight, elderly or sick animals in the hot
weather, too. For more tips please call the shelter at
483.6700.

"Buy A Brick" Campaign!
RCHS, celebrating 50 years, has kicked off
its "Buy-a-Brick Campaign" to help raise funds and build a
walkway. Buy a brick, have it engraved, and dedicate
your purchase in honor/memory of a special pet or person,
commemorate a special event in someone's life.

e-mail Beth
Shapcott or call her at 483.9171.

Barn Cats Available
If you
are looking for a couple of barn cats to keep down your
rodent population, please ask us! We occasionally have
cats who are too timid or unsocialized to place in a home
environment and we are happy to place them in loving barns -
they will be fixed and rabies vaccinated and there is no
charge to adopt! Please call the shelter for more
information.
