We have so many kittens right now - of all shapes and sizes. If you are looking for something to bring a little love into your life, and a lot of playfulness, then these are your kids. Our foster homes have been doing a great job in raising these guys and they are now entrusting us to find them great homes. The female adoption fees are $145 and the male adoption fees are $110. This includes all their vaccinations, spay or neuter, microchip, free vet visit, and 30 days free pet insurance. Give us a call if you have any questions. Ryder is as funny as he is cute. This little guy is a ball of fire and loves to play with other small dogs. He is about a year old and weighs around 8 lbs. We would not recommend him in a home with kids under 7 but think he would do well with kids above that age. We also don't think he is going to do well with kittens. This little guy isn't much for just sitting around and waiting for things to happen; he is a man of action! Please note that it is very important to CHS that our animals are placed in the best homes possible and their health and welfare is our main concern. To that end CHS does not have an open kennel policy. If you are interested in meeting one of our animals we ask that you please either call or email to schedule an appointment to come in. 2084 Oregon Street, St. Helens, OR 97051 Phone: 503-397-4353 E-mail: info@columbiahumane.org Web: www.columbiahumane.org
