Sure, many people think why get a cat or kitten from a humane society when I can get one for free from a friend, neighbor or family member? Well here’s why. At the Cleveland APL, every cat and kitten has been spayed or neutered, given their initial vaccines, treated for fleas and worms, and tested for feline leukemia, feline HIV, and heartworms, all of which will save an adopter nearly $300 in future care!

Everyday, people from our community work tirelessly to help rescue, care for, and love these animals and, every time an animal is adopted from our shelter by a loving family, hope is found where there was none before.
