Adoptions will be done by appointment only, after an approved application is submitted. You can apply to adopt a cat by requesting an application by messenger or visiting our website at http://www.storycountyiowa.gov/1486/Adoption-Application
If you would like to bring donations by in person, please call us so we can give you details on how to get them to us. We also have an amazon wish list. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3UCNTFIA99LLV... and now we have a separate neonatal/kitten wish list for specific supplies needed for taking care of our tiniest residents. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3UTMYMAVDPYK6...
You can sponsor a animal that is currently in our care by visiting our shelter page on Petfinder. Just click on any of our adoptable pets listed and hit the purple sponsor button. https://www.petfinder.com/search/pets-for-adoption/...
By sponsoring an animal through petfinder, the petfinder foundation notifies us right away that we have received a donation, and ensures that our shelter receives it. If the animal you sponsor gets adopted, don't worry, that money will be used to care for the many other animals waiting to find their forever homes.

Who needs another cat in the house when you have someone with as full of a personality (and belly) as Sylvester?

This fine feline needs to rule the roost on his own in regards to other pets, but humans are his jam. Need someone to get cozy and watch football with? This is your guy. How about a cat to politely judge your wardrobe choices while still being a supportive best friend? He’s got quite the eye for fashion too. Sylvester has been on a special diet during his time here and has been doing well on it, so other than stealing your uninterrupted love and affection, that is his only other requirement. Silly Sylvester is ready to take the leap from his kennel to your lap!

Apply to meet this handsome guy at https://www.storycountyiowa.gov/1486/Adoption-Application

MAKE MY MONTH!❤🐾

We have had SUCH good luck with our Adopt a Shelter Dog Month highlights. TWO of our five dogs available for adoption have claimed new homes, and we have another to re-introduce before October is over!

Cam is an almost 2-year-old mixed breed boy who needs a forever partner to show him that he can not only trust people but that the world itself isn't that scary at all. He has been in the shelter for 384 days, learning some of the ways of being a good canine citizen. Cam knows sit and has the fastest and wiggliest "wags" (he can only do so much with his stump of a tail!). All Cam requires is a little bit of effort, and in turn he will give a lifetime of love❤

Apply to meet Cam and learn more about him at https://www.storycountyiowa.gov/1486/Adoption-Application

Story County Animal Shelter

The ongoing mission of Story County Animal Control and Shelter is to humanely and lawfully take care of all animals in our jurisdiction. We strive to be diligent in maintaining our excellent track record of adoptions, and public safety for all residents. We also educate the public on the benefits and need for spaying and neutering animals. We want our newly remodeled animal shelter to not only be a place for animal adoptions, but a place for individuals and families to come and learn about animal safety, care and enriching the lives of the animals.
