Companion Animal Alliance (fka East Baton Rouge Parish Animal Control) Needs Volunteers

The Companion Animal Alliance now operates the East Baton Rouge Animal Shelter, where dogs and cats are available for adoption. The shelter is located at 2680 Progress Road near the airport. The CAA needs volunteers to help at the shelter. Walk a dog, help with the kittens-you can make a big difference. We also need volunteers who can provide short-term housing for friendly dogs and cats until they are adopted. This can last for a few days or a few months. Help make Baton Rouge a great place for all our animals! Call 225-774-7700 for information. http://companionanimalsbr.org.

Adoption terms: All animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped for easy identification, checked for heartworms or feline leukemia and have pet insurance. Adopt a kitten and get a 3-year-old cat for free. Seniors over 60 can adopt a senior cat (at least 8 years old) for free.

To see pets, visit http://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=LA65

Adoption Fees: $70

Adoption Hours: Sunday-Friday 11-7 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.-7 p.m.

"Lucius" Available for Adoption (Special Needs) 
Project Purr BR
Baton Rouge, LA
Phone: Please use email 

akehrlich@att.net

"Lucius was rescued from being put down at EBR Animal Control in a group of several kittens. Of all the 16 kittens, 3 of them tested positive for feline leukemia and will need to go to a special home. Lucius is one of those 3 and he will first require a family who understands his situation. He has a good chance of leading a normal, full life, just like any other healthy cat. On the other hand, at some point in his life, he could become sick and pass away. Project Purr decided it was worth the time to save his life anyway, although it may be shorter than a negative kitty. Lucius has a chance of completely kicking the disease and becoming immune and non-contagious, but we won't be able to test for that until he gets older. In the mean time, this adorable little guy may be adopted into a home with no other kitties, dogs are ok though. The adopter must agree to keep him indoors only and this is very important because feline leukemia is contagious to other cats he could come in contact with outside. Lucius would also prefer to not be declawed. Besides his health issues, Lucius is a super sweet, affectionate kitten who will purr away as soon as you start petting him. He is very loving, but wants a bit of play time as well. He loves the laser pointer! Lucius will need to go to a home with people who are not out of the house for very long hours, because he craves the company others. He gets along very well with other cats, so if he does end up kicking the disease, getting another cat would be an option. He also gets along well with dogs."

…You’ll be doing much more to help, because you are taking an effective step toward reducing the number of homeless animals in your area. 

When fewer puppies and kittens are born, it means that each homeless dog, cat, puppy, and kitten has a better chance to find the loving home every pet deserves. 

Thank you for doing your part and being an animal advocate!
