If you live in the San Diego area and are looking for a new buddy, head down to the local shelter:

The local animal shelters are currently overrun with animals (particularly cats and kittens), so they’re offering some great deals. Until the end of the month, the Department of Animal Services will waive all adoption fees for cats 6 months or older, and dogs 5 years or older, as well as any cat or dog that has been at the shelter for 30 days....

If you’re determined to get a kitten, the Department has a “Better with a Buddy” program where a person can adopt one kitten under 6 months of age at the full price of $58 and adopt a second kitten at half price....

All animals will be neutered or spayed, microchipped and vaccinated prior to going home with their new family. Animals unable to be altered at the time of adoption require a $40 refundable sterilization deposit.

For more information on adoptions at any of the three County Animal Shelters (North, Central and South), or to view photos of adoptable animals, visit County of San Diego: Animal Services.
