Even though it’s Fall, it’s still kitten season at the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) and we have lots of playful balls of fur looking for homes.  We want to help our kittens get adopted before they grow up into cats at the shelter so we’re hosting a “Kitten Clearance”!  Join us on Sunday, November 7 from 12 pm – 5 pm at the RCHS Shelter on Stevens Road in Pittsford and at the Rutland Veterinary Clinic and Surgical Center on East Pittsford Road in Rutland to adopt a kitten or two!  Adoption fee discounts will be available and your luck of the draw will determine how much you’ll save!  Fill your home and your hearts with the antics and love only a kitten can provide.  All of our kittens have been spayed/neutered, checked by the vet, feline leukemia tested and have had their shots.  To learn more please visit www.rchsvt.org or contact the shelter at 483.6700.  The kittens are excited about seeing you on November 7 and are all packed and ready to go home!

In honor of the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, please join RCHS and Reverend Lee Crawford of Trinity Episcopal Church for Blessing of the Animals.  Bring your pet or a picture of your pet for a special blessing by Reverend Crawford.  All dogs must be on leashes and cats and other pets in safe carriers.  The ceremony will be held outside and all are welcome!  After the ceremony the shelter will be open until 5 pm to visit with the adoptable animals.
