Kitten season is here! If you’re interested in being a foster, please reach out to the Lakewood Animal Shelter!

CAT FOSTERS NEEDED!

Kitten Season is here!

Spring and summer brings sunny days, blooming flowers… and LOTS of kittens!

Every year, shelters like ours see a huge influx of cats and kittens needing care. That’s where you come in!
Lakewood Animal Control is currently looking for compassionate volunteers to foster cats and kittens during this busy season.

Whether you’re a seasoned foster or thinking about trying it for the first time—we’d love to have you! Open your heart and home this kitten season. Interested? Reach out to Lakewood Animal Control today at (216) 529-5020

Why we need fosters:
• An animal is too young to be adopted and needs a safe place and consistent nurturing (Youth)
• An animal is recovering from surgery, illness or injury and needs a specific medical attention (Medical)
• An animal is showing signs of stress such as pacing or hiding in the shelter. (Foster to Adoption)
• An animal has not lived in a home before or has not had much contact with people and needs to be socialized. (Socialization)

Senior cat lovers unite!! Sweet 17-year-old Jackie was adopted today! We're so happy for her and her new family!

After 27 days in the shelter Jackie got her Fur-Ever Home today!

01/29/2025

Wonderful news! So happy for these two girls and their new families! ❤️

BOTH ADOPTED!

Noel and Cheese have been waiting at the shelter for quite a while, longer than most dogs typically do here. These two pups are incredibly affectionate and love to cuddle. If you're interested in meeting them, we warmly invite you to visit the shelter and share some love with them—perhaps you could even become their new family!

01/25/2025

**Good news! Noel has been adopted!!**

Noel is still at the Lakewood Animal Shelter waiting for her forever home! She’s spent Thanksgiving there. As well as Christmas. And she rang in 2025 there too.

This pup is so sweet and loving! Even after everything she’s been through. When Noel was found, she wasn’t in the best shape. She only weighed 19 pounds and had some dental issues. But Noel is flourishing now! She’s put on weight and her health has vastly improved! The Lakewood Animal Shelter team has been working hard to make her ready for her new family!

Please share with your friends! We really care about this girl and want her to spend the next holiday at her forever home! 💜**

Noel is such a sweet girl and deserves a loving family! She’s been at the shelter for over 50 days and she’s so ready to find her forever home! Noel has unfortunately had a hard life but she is still so happy and lovable!

ADOPTED!

Allow us to introduce you to the sweetest Noel, a 2-year-old American Staffordshire mix. Noel has faced significant challenges during her time at the shelter. She was discovered in a malnourished state, but with care and love, she has made remarkable progress. Now, her greatest wish is to find a forever family to call her own.

Noel is an incredibly affectionate dog. She adores gentle head scratches and loves to frolic in the yard. When she wants your attention, she’ll gently place her paws on you and gaze up with her soulful eyes.

It truly saddens us that Noel has spent over a month waiting for her forever home. We sincerely hope that someone will open their heart to her and give her the fresh start she deserves in the new year.

When adopting an animal, you can expect the following:

First three days: Animals may be overwhelmed as they get used to their new surroundings.
After three weeks: They may feel more comfortable and have a better understanding of their routine.
Three months after adoption: Animals feel safe, secure, and ready to build a trusting bond with you as their pet parent.

It's important to note that the behavior exhibited by animals in the shelter often does not accurately represent their true personality at home, largely due to the high-stress conditions of the shelter.

If you are interested in Noel, please call the Shelter at (216) 529-5020.

Our Dog Adoption Fee is $120 and includes:
• Spay
• First DAPP and Rabies Vaccination
• Deworming
• Collar and ID Tag
• Flea/Tick Prevention
• 1-Year Cuyahoga County Dog License
• One Free Exam and Vaccine from Lakewood Animal Hospital or Detroit Dover Animal Hospital
