Bloomington, IN - The City of Bloomington Animal Shelter invites the community to come down to the Shelter showroom to check out all the latest models of certified, pre-owned cats waiting to be driven off the lot into their new homes.

We have the latest models, kittens under six months of age, which can be adopted two for the price of one, a deal at $75. We have older models and scratch and dent models that can be adopted for the low, low price of only $30. All cats and kittens come equipped with four-paw drive, a five-point health inspection, new cat smell and a 100,000 purr warranty.

Regular adoption fees are $75 for a cat under age five and $55 for a cat five years and older. Included in the fee are costs for spaying or neutering, vaccinations, microchipping, and testing for feline leukemia and FIV.

The public can visit adoptable animals at the City of Bloomington Animal Shelter located at 3410 South Walnut. The shelter is open to the public Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from noon to 5 p.m., Tuesdays and Fridays from noon until 7 p.m., and Sundays from 1-4 p.m. Adoptable animals also can be seen on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon at the Farmers' Market and they can be viewed on the shelter web site at [www.bloomington.in.gov/animalshelter|www.bloomington.in.gov/animalshelter].
