Normally this time of year, the Vanderburgh Humane Society would be offering you the opportunity to send that special someone a puppy to snuggle with for a few minutes through their Cuddlegram fundraiser. But, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, nothing has been normal for a while thanks to COVID, which means the VHS had to come up with a backup plan for this year s Valentine s Day-themed fundraiser.
Instead of bringing you the puppies in person, they re bringing them to you virtually with Puppygram Live! on their Facebook page. For a $10 admission fee, you get to watch safely from the comfort of your home or office as the staff let s a group of puppies loose in one of their visiting rooms where you can watch them romp & play in all their adorable glory. A VHS staff member will also be involved and will answer any questions you may have about the puppies, or the shelter itself.
VHS Updates Status on 24 Cats Recently Delivered to the Shelter
It s been just over a week since the Vanderburgh Humane Society announced on their Facebook page they had a resident surrender 24 cats to them all at once, four of which were pregnant. A intake of animals that would cost the shelter roughly $9,000 after getting them all up to speed on their shots, deworming, flea treatments, etc. On Wednesday, they gave us an update on their status, and things are looking good.
The shelter shared a video featuring five of the two dozen felines, all of which they ve named after different characters from Disney/Pixar films, saying all five been processed and are ready for you to make them part of your family.
24 cats dumped at VHS
24 cats dumped at VHS, will cost nearly $10K to take care of them By 14 News Staff | January 21, 2021 at 6:02 AM CST - Updated January 21 at 6:25 AM
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - The Vanderburgh Humane Society is now taking care of more than 20 new cats after they were dumped this week.
Normally, humane society officials say they would not take that many animals at once, but in this case, they had space for all 24 cats.
The humane society tells us it is going to cost VHS almost $10,000 to vaccinate, spay, and neuter all of them.
The animals will be up for adoption within the month.
