The Mount Pleasant Animal Shelter has temporarily suspended feline intakes, due to Feline Distemper contamination at their facility. Until such time as they lift the suspension, we will be unable to impound cats.
🚨 Important Shelter Update: Temporary Suspension of Cat Services 🚨
To protect the health and well-being of the cats in our care, the Mount Pleasant Animal Care and Adoption Center will be temporarily suspending all cat and kitten intakes and adoptions for the next 14 days due to concerns regarding feline panleukopenia (feline distemper).
Panleukopenia is a highly contagious viral disease that can be life-threatening, especially for kittens. This temporary pause will allow our staff to carefully monitor our current cat population, complete enhanced cleaning and disinfection protocols, and minimize the risk of further exposure.
During this 14-day period:
• Cats and kittens will not be accepted for intake.
• If you find healthy kittens or stray cats, we encourage you to seek assistance from local rescue organizations, utilize community resources, or provide temporary care if possible. Our staff is available to offer guidance and answer questions.
We understand this temporary suspension may be an inconvenience, but these precautions are necessary to protect the health of the animals currently in our care and those that will enter our shelter in the future.
We appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support as we work to provide a safe and healthy environment for the animals we serve. We will share updates as soon as normal cat operations resume.
