Mitzy was picked up as a badly injured stray pregnant cat.  She had been attacked by a dog or hit by a car, we are not sure, but she had open wounds that were treated in foster until they healed. 

Now that Mitzy is all healed up, it has become clear she just doesn't like to be handled very much.  She isn't feral, but doesn't like to be held.  She would be a perfect barn cat. 

We have her spayed, vaccinated, flea-treated, dewormed, etc. just like our regular adoptable cats.  However, barn cats are free with a completed/approved barn cat application which can be found on our website www.claycountyshelter.com under "Applications."

Clay County Animal Rescue & Shelter is located at 375 Water Elm Lane, Flora, IL. Our phone number is 618-665-3005.  We are renovating our shelter so hours are by appointment only. 

The typical adoption fee for dogs is $150.  It includes vaccination, deworming , spay/neuter, heartworm testing on dogs of age and microchipping, which is now mandatory by state law.  Some dogs we discount to as little as $50 due to sponsorship.  Some dogs we ask a higher adoption fee, which helps us recoup expenses on heartworm treatment on other dogs.

All cats are spayed/neutered/vaccinated/flea treated/dewormed and microchipped prior to adoption.  Cat adoption fees range from $60-$100.  We spay/neuter/microchip/vaccinate and deworm all kittens and cats, prior to adoption.  Our shyer/less adoptable cats are classed as "barn cats" and are free with a completed/approved barn cat application, which can be found on our website.
