Hits’ Furry Friends of the Week: Felix

Felix is a handsome, golden-eyed brown tiger kitty.  Although initially shy, he warms up quickly and enjoys interactive play and treats.  This fellow loves to be held, petted, and cuddled and loudly purrs his satisfaction and contentment.  At just 2 years old, Felix is ready for his “fur-ever” home and will give much love and joy to his new family. Thanks to cat lover Cindy, his adoption fee has been sponsored.

To meet Felix (ID 644697) or any other pet, visit www.humanebroward.com and fill out the pre-adoption application form.  Then stop by the Humane Society of Broward County located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL.  The adoption kennels open daily at 11 a.m. and if you have any questions call 954-989-3977 ext. 6.

*** NOTE: The shelter is currently in need of newspapers. They’re used daily for the cat and rabbit kennels and their shelves are practically bare. Clean newspapers can be dropped off any time after 9 a.m. and the shelter is open 7 days a week. If you want to look at the pets, then come by after 11:00.

Adoption Ambassador: If you can provide a temporary home for a large-breed dog, become an Adoption Ambassador for the Humane Society of Broward County. Ambassadors help market the pet through your network of friends and associates, while giving the pet a vacation from the shelter environment. Sometimes a different setting is all that is needed to help our furry friends find their forever home.

Spay/Neuter Services:

Vaccine Clinic: Is open Monday – Friday, 9 AM – 4:30 PM credit cards only, no cash. This is a walk-in service and you may experience a wait of up to an hour. All cats must be in carriers and dogs on a leash at all times. If you have a retractable leash, please keep it short.
