Cherokee County
Humane Society Foster Rescue Program
CCHS Foster Rescue Program is in desperate
need of foster homes for cats and kittens. The Foster Rescue program helps
alleviate overcrowding at the shelter as well as offering an option for
very young kittens that arrive at the shelter. The Foster Rescue Program
is thrilled to announce that a new off-site adoption location dedicated
to fosters and rescues has just been secured and should go a long ways
towards shortening the amount of time a foster is in a home. For more
information about being a foster home, please call Debbie Marcia at 770-928-2784.
