Over 200 Cats and Kittens Available For Adoption
OC Animal Care is still hosting the weekly “Sittin’ with Kittens” event each Saturday to get cats and kittens adopted.
The shelter currently has over 200 cats and kittens available for adoption, with some cats set up in temporary kennels since there’s limited space for all the pets.
During the Sittin’ with Kittens event, visitors can meet multiple litters of kittens that were formerly in foster care and now ready for adoption. No appointment is needed.
It’s held on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Tustin shelter.
OC Animal Care, the county-run animal shelter in Tustin, is open daily for adoption visits from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. During this time, visitors can freely walk through the kennel areas to view the available animals.
To schedule an adoption visit, call the main line at (714) 935-6848 and mention the animal ID number for any specific pet you might be interested in.
