Louisville Metro Animal Services Adoptable Pets of the Week

Cat of the Week:

Did you know it’s free to adopt barns cats from Louisville Metro Animal Services? Also known as working cats, they prefer the solo lifestyle and aren’t ideal as inside pets to humans. Barn cats are great at keeping away vermin making them excellent pest control in places like barns, businesses, and warehouses. In exchange for food and a safe place to get a cat nap, barn cats get the job done. To meet or adopt a barn cat from LMAS, visit Animal House Adoption Center located at 3516 Newburg Road from 12pm to 6pm daily. To view more adoptable cats at LMAS, click here.

Dog of the Week:

No need to ask Mother for money because Mei's adoption fee is waived. Inside her kennel, the gorgeous 2-year-old German Shepherd mix is fearful and stressed by shelter life. But outside her kennel, Mei’s a friendly, sweet girl just waiting for someone to giver her a chance and adopter her. Once timid Mei is comfortable with you, she lets you know with a quick lick and by jumping onto your lap. Adopt Mei for free with an approved application, thanks to the Pay It Forward Program. Mei weighs about 46lbs. She's already spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. Dog and cat testing are offered by request during your visit. To meet or adopt Mei, visit Animal House (3516 Newburg Rd.) from 12pm to 6pm daily. To view more adoptable dogs at LMAS, click here.
