Save Our Cats and Kittens - SOCKS Shelter

06/13/2025

These kitties are just some of the fabulous felines who will be at Pet Supplies Plus - Destin, FL from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday, June 14!

There's also a kitten group called the "5 newbies" who haven't had their "mugshots," yet.

Adoption fees are $150 for kittens, and $25 for adults.

Fee includes spay or neuter, microchip, vaccinations, dewormers, and flea medication. That's FAR LESS than you'd pay to vet a "free kitten" or new adult cat.

Stop by to pet and love on these sweethearts!

If you'd like to help cats find happy homes, SOCKS needs a little help getting them to an adoption event at Pet Supplies Plus - Destin, FL.

The adoption event is from 1 to 4 p.m. this Saturday.

Volunteers will meet at the shelter at 11:30 a.m. Saturday to help load up supplies and/or cats, take to Pet Supplies Plus, then help set up.

At 4 p.m. Saturday, volunteers will meet at Pet Supplies Plus, for tear down and to return supplies and/or cats to shelter.

You can volunteer for either time, or both.

If you can transport cats in your vehicle, that would be great. Our van's AC is out, and we're not sure if it will be repaired by Saturday.

Email [email protected] if you'd like to volunteer.

Thank you!

Our 2000 Chevy Astro Van may not be glamorous, but it's a workhorse — carrying cats to spay/neuter clinics, picking up donations, and doing the dirty work that keeps SOCKS running smoothly.

But right now, it can't do all that in the blazing Florida heat — since the air conditioning broke!

To get the A/C fixed and make the van safe and comfortable again (especially for our furry passengers), we need to raise $1,200.

🐾 Can you chip in to help us keep our cool?

😺 Every dollar brings us closer to breezier, safer trips for our cats and staff.

This mission is possible — with your help. 🕶️

🐾 Adopt a Shelter Cat Month🐾

June is national adopt a shelter cat month! During the month of June, shelters all over the country experience an influx of kittens because of kitten season. Female cats are seasonally polyestrous; meaning they come into heat during certain times of the year. This is a biological adaptation to an increased availability of food and favorable conditions that are considered more safe to raising a litter. This is a critical time for us as we not only have the daily responsibility of taking care of the cats and kittens in our care but also assisting the public with kittens that are found abandoned, sick, or even more recently deceased. There are many different ways you can make a difference this kitten season!

🐱 The #1 way you can help is by coming into the shelter and adopting your own sweet furbaby!

🐱 Foster! What better way to help than by providing a temporary safe haven for furbabies until they can find their furever home!

🐱 Another way to help out is by donating. Sometimes the easiest and quickest way to help out is to send in some monetary love! Even the smallest amount can make the biggest difference!

🐱 A great way to help is by coming into the shelter and volunteering! There are so many things that need to be taken care of each day in a shelter! Things like laundry, dishes, feeding, watering, cleaning, scooping p**p, and most importantly - loving on the cats and kittens!

🐱 The last way we ask for your help is by simply joining us in spreading awareness! Even sharing this post and passing on information will help us get the word out!

Below we will provide some links that will direct you to information on the various items discussed above. As always, thank you from the bottom of our furry hearts for all your support 🐾❤

Tokyo the kitten came in Friday for his vaccinations. Adorable.

Kittens aren't the only ones that need fosters.

We have adults that need some relief from the stress of living with so many other cats in a shelter.

Thank you!
