Happy Halloween from Lake County Animal Shelter!

We had a spooktacular time at our Halloween Catinee this morning! From cuddling with cats and kittens to planting cat grass and watching the original 1960 classic The Little Shop of Horrors, it was a purr-fectly spooky start to Halloween!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for all the kitty cuddles and Halloween fun. We hope you have a safe and happy Halloween!

As you get ready for Halloween, don’t forget to keep your pets’ safety in mind!

With doors opening frequently for trick-or-treaters and tempting treats and decorations around the house, Halloween can bring extra risks for our furry friends. Losing a pet is scary! Make sure your pets are safe and secure indoors when answering the door to help prevent them from slipping outside.

Along with keeping your pets secure, it’s important to be mindful of what they can get their paws and mouths on while celebrating Halloween.

🚫 Keep candy, glow sticks, and small decorations out of reach, as these can be harmful if chewed or swallowed.
✅ Choose pet-friendly treats and make sure any costumes are comfortable and safe.
⚠️ If your pet eats something they shouldn’t, contact your veterinarian right away.

A few simple precautions can go a long way in keeping your furry family members safe this Halloween!

Have a safe and happy Halloween! 🐾🎃
