In the last 7 days, DCHS has received 33 new cats. Yes, you read that right: 33 new cats in 7 days--and 17 in one day alone!
Some of these cats were found wandering the streets (likely someone's indoor/outdoor cats), some are kittens without mothers, and some are from Dunn County's growing population of undomesticated cats.
Added to the numerous surrender inquiries we receive each day, this influx of feline friends means that we find ourselves in need of your help!
If you or someone you know can help foster, or donate to help pay for their care, please reach out!

Our community is experiencing a significant pet overpopulation. You can help by spaying or neutering your cat(s). This simple act can lead to a healthier and happier life for them and help control the pet population.
There are many wonderful benefits to getting your pet fixed, such as:
Your spayed female won't go into heat. Female cats usually go into heat multiple times during breeding season, which can lead to yowling and frequent urination around the house.
Your neutered male may be better behaved. Unneutered male cats are more likely to mark their territory with strong-smelling urine.
Spaying prevents uterine infections and decreases the risk of breast tumors.
Neutering prevents testicular cancer and can help with some prostate problems.
