Did anyone say “kittens?” Well, we’ve got them at the Bullock County Humane Society, now ready for adoption! As we’re currently running our fall special for spay and neuter in partnership with Tuskegee University, we’re well on our way to having ALL of our in house kitties fully vaccinated, with rabies and having been spayed/neutered. This group of four lovely babies (Magnus, Maximillian, Mongoose, and Morweena) are just a few that are ready for adoption today!
