🐾❤️ Carbon County Friends of Animals is open again!

Sending a heartfelt thank-you to the dedicated staff for all their hard work and for the love and care they give these cats every day! 🐱❤️

A huge thank-you to our staff for all their hard work during our two-day deep-clean shutdown! 🐾❤️

Caring for a shelter full of cats is a big job on any day. Tackling a thorough deep clean takes even more time, energy, and teamwork, and we truly appreciate the effort our staff put into making the shelter a cleaner, more comfortable place for our cats and everyone who cares for them.

We also thank our visitors and supporters for their patience while we were closed.

The shelter is once again OPEN for visitors! Stop in, say hello, and spend some time with the cats. They’ll be happy to help you take a break from your own cleaning duties. 🐈
