Georgetown to Host Exciting Kitten Adoption Event
The Georgetown Public Library is set to host a delightful kitten adoption event on August 6, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This heartwarming initiative, organized in collaboration with the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter, promises to be a significant occasion for animal lovers and potential pet owners in the area.
Event Details
Taking place at 402 West Eighth Street in Georgetown, TX, the event will commence with a “meet-and-greet” session featuring the adorable kittens starting at 11 a.m. This half-hour opportunity allows attendees to interact with the furry friends before the official adoption process begins at 11:30 a.m. Adoptions will continue until the conclusion of the event.
Individuals interested in adopting a kitten can do so for a nominal fee of $35. Each kitten available for adoption will be spayed or neutered, and have received their first round of vaccinations, ensuring that new pet owners bring home a healthy addition to their families.
To make transportation easier, each kitten will leave the event in temporary carriers
Supporting Local Animal Welfare
All proceeds from the adoption event will directly benefit the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter, contributing to ongoing efforts in animal welfare and rescue initiatives in the community.
Significant Merger of Local Shelters
It is crucial to note that the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter and the Georgetown Animal Shelter officially merged on July 14, 2025. This merger aims to provide a more coordinated and unified approach to animal sheltering across the region. The combined organization will utilize the WCRAS campus located at 1855 SE Inner Loop as the centralized hub for shelter services.
For those still interested in canine companions, dog adoptions will continue to be held in Georgetown at the new WCRAS Red Poppy Adoptique. This newly renamed facility, which took the place of the former Georgetown Animal Shelter, offers a comfortable atmosphere for dog fostering and adoption.
Located next to San Gabriel Park, the Red Poppy Adoptique also facilitates the Doggy Day Out program, providing opportunities for dog lovers to enjoy time with pets daily from noon to 6 p.m.
Enhanced Services for the Community
The recent merger expanded access to a variety of programs offered by WCRAS, including TNVR clinics for community cats and low-cost spay/neuter clinics. New services, such as microchipping, pet registration, vaccines through Petco Love, and an online list showcasing adoptable community pets, aim to enhance the support for pet owners and assist in addressing the local pet overpopulation issue.
A Celebration of New Beginnings
In celebration of the merger, a special event featuring free adoptions for all available pets will take place on July 19, 2025, from noon to 6 p.m. at both the WCRAS campus and the Red Poppy Adoptique. This is expected to be an enjoyable day filled with activities and an opportunity to welcome pets into loving homes.
Conclusion
The upcoming kitten adoption event at the Georgetown Public Library reflects a significant community effort to support local animal shelters and the well-being of pets in the Georgetown area. With numerous kittens in need of loving homes, this event promises to be an entertaining and meaningful occasion for all involved.
