The seven Los Angeles County animal shelters including the Castaic Animal Care Center will offer $20 adoption fees for dogs and free adoption for cats on Saturday, August 18 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The adoptions are part of a “Clear the Shelters” initiative mounted by the county’s Department of Animal Care and Control and TV stations NBC4 Southern California and Telemundo 52 Los Angeles.

“Many thanks to NBC and Telemundo for helping our homeless pets find forever homes,” said Animal Care and Control Director Marcia Mayeda.

The seven animal care centers and their addresses are:

* Castaic – 31044 North Charlie Canyon Road, Castaic, CA 91384
* Agoura – 29525 Agoura Road, Agoura, CA 91301
* Baldwin Park – 4275 North Elton Street, Baldwin Park, CA 91706
* Carson/Gardena – 216 W. Victoria Street, Gardena CA 90248
* Downey – 11258 South Garfield Avenue, Downey, CA 90242
* Lancaster – 5210 West Avenue I, Lancaster, CA 93536

Lennon was adopted from the Baldwin Park shelter in October 2016, and his little sister Freeda was adopted from the Castaic shelter in January 2018. Both are healthy and happy in their forever homes in Santa Clarita.

Hopefully, those that adopt will love and take good care of these innocent creatures. Let’s not have another Valerie incident.

You mean Bella the cat that they put down while rescue group was trying to coordinate the pickup of the kitty. That was unforgivable and they fired the person responsible. We had to go through public outrage, local representatives, and the head of the shelter system to have this happen.

In May of this year, a small cat decided to take up residence in my back yard. She wouldn’t come near me or let me pet her, but I fed her anyway and didn’t mind her presence. Last month she gave birth to 6 kittens. I will keep and feed them as well, however, I am looking for a vet or agency that offers spay/neuter at a discounted rate. Does Castaic Animal Facility offer discounts?
