Friends of Hardin County Animal Shelter will once again be offering free shelters to area residents looking to take care of outdoor cats this winter.
“We are doing that in conjunction with Eurotrol,” said FOHCAS Board Member Sarah Fellows. “It’s a local company that has the styrofoam shipping containers, and they offer those to us once they’re done. They’re clean, and they’re just the perfect outdoor shelter for those community or feral cats that you may be feeding, but they don’t have any kind of good shelter for the winter, especially during harsh weather.”
FOHCAS board members will be distributing the shelters on a first come, first served basis this Saturday from 10 to 11 a.m. Behind the Hardin County Animal Shelter, located at 220 Peterson Drive.
“That’s the cul-de-sac behind the Hardin County Animal Shelter, so if you pull into Headquarters Drive that runs right beside the animal shelter, you’ll pass their parking lot,” Fellows said. “You will not go into their parking lot. It’s a very short street. It leads to a cul-de-sac, and we’ll be down at the end of that cul-de-sac passing those out until they’re gone.”
The limit is two shelters per car. The shelters are free but donations will be accepted.
