Rescued cats available at special adoption event : Pet News ...

CLEARWATER ? The Humane Society of Pinellas, with support from Bay Area Disaster Animal Response Team, will host a large-scale adoption event in conjunction with the ASPCA to find homes for 130 cats rescued from Caboodle Ranch.

The ASPCA rescued hundreds of cats from Caboodle Ranch in Lee, Fla., in February. Several shelters around Florida also will host adoption events for Caboodle Ranch cats Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 11 and 12. The Humane Society of Pinellas event will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at 1928 Gulf-to-Bay Blvd. Overflow parking will be available across the street at Clearwater High School.

Adopters of the Caboodle Ranch cats can set their own adoption fee. The cats have been spayed/neutered and microchipped, and each has received a thorough veterinary exam and behavior evaluation. A veterinarian and behavior expert will be available on-site each day to answer any questions for prospective adopters. Some of these cats have special needs, including cats that are FIV positive.

The Humane Society of Pinellas? shelter on State Road 590 will be closed to the public Aug. 11 and 12 so that all resources can be directed to the adoption event.

For nearly five months, hundreds of ASPCA responders have been managing the sheltering, medical treatment and behavior enrichment of these animals removed from the overcrowded and unsanitary conditions at Caboodle Ranch. In June, the County Court, Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Fla., stripped Caboodle Ranch of all rights, title or interest in the animals seized from its property and placed the animals in the custody of the Madison County Sheriff?s Office. The Sheriff?s Office subsequently transferred custody of the animals to the ASPCA, and now agencies across Florida are joining efforts to help these cats find the homes they deserve.
