Finding Furever Homes Since 1995
CCAS is a non-profit organization that has been proudly operating as a no-kill shelter for 30 years.
ABOUT US
History
Founded in 1995 and serving Carleton County, including the Town of Woodstock and surrounding areas, the Carleton County Animal Shelter has the capacity to house 50 cats and 6 dogs
No-Kill Shelter
We are a no-kill shelter. This means that animals will not be euthanized because of a lack of space. Euthanasia is reserved as a last resort and is performed only when our veterinary care providers deem it necessary to prevent suffering.
Funding
CCAS is a registered non-profit charitable organization which receives no ongoing government funding. The shelter's operating expenses of more than $100,000 per year are almost exclusively paid for by donations and proceeds from fundraising activities.
HOW MUCH EACH CAT COSTS US.
Spay: $260
Neuter: $170
Post-Surgery Medications: $35
Physical Exam: $80
Rabies Vaccine: $22
First Set of Vaccines: $45
In total, female cats cost us around $450, and male cats cost us around $350. Any donations received will help with our vet bills and the continuation of care for all animals in the shelter.
There is love at the shelter.
