There are currently 253 cats/kittens at Florence-Lauderdale Animal Services (3240 Robertson Road). Why so many?
Many people simply don't neuter their pets. Then they wonder why the local animal shelter is always full. What can you do about it?
Donate to the shelter:
1. Money
2. Chlorine bleach
3. Paper towels
4. New or used blankets or towels
5. Kitty litter
6. Cardboard flats (from the grocery store)
7. Wet & dry cat/kitten food
8. Unflavored Pedialyte
9. Cat toys
Come August, you can also vote for a Florence mayor who will prioritize the shelter. And right now? You can adopt a ball of floof and give it a furever home.

Could you answer the above riddle. Have no idea why a kitten is like a Danielle Steel novel?
It's because anyone who really wants one already has one.
Obviously, cats make new fans or are adopted to replace those who have passed on, but most moggy lovers already have their feline companion in place. That's why you need to encourage new pet owners to neuter their pets (cats or dogs).
Their are 253 cats in Florence alone depending on you!

On August 26, 2025 the citizens of Florence HOPEFULLY can vote for a candidate for mayor who can ease the burdens on the taxpayers that in part has lead to the overcrowding of the Florence shelter. With 20% of residents living below the poverty level, paying 9.5% sales tax on every item they buy (including pet food), the highest in North Alabama BTW, and increased rates and fees on every city service from garbage collection to electricity rates, the current mayor and council had a lot to do with many of the animals who citizens were forced to give up to the shelter in the last 5 years because they could not AFFORD to keep them. And although you did not "name" this candidate who would "prioritize" the shelter, the current mayor Andy Betterton and a current councilman Bill Griffin has helped create this situation where some citizens had to give up their pets. How about voting for someone who will put FLORENCE TAXPAYERS first and make it easier for PETOWNERS in Florence to feed their pets and keep them healthy. And NOT have to take them to the shelter. That would REALLY be putting the interest of the "shelter" first.
