Auburn, AL
The Lee County animal shelter in Auburn, taking in stray, unwanted and owner-relinquished cats and dogs from across the county. The organization is widely known by both the CARE Humane Society name and its longstanding Lee County Humane Society name.
Photo ID and a cat carrier required. Renters need a signed Pet Addendum or proof of paid pet fees/deposits; landlord verification may be required.
Complete the cat adoption application online, and have food, bowls, bedding and litter ready before bringing your cat home. A $20 discount applies after completing Pet Ready Academy.
Estimated by applying the AVMA's 2024 national cat-ownership rate (32.1% of households) to the county's real household count from the Census Bureau — a national rate applied locally, not a local survey. Population and housing figures are from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
CARE is an open-admissions, low-kill facility with an average Live Release Rate above 90%. It accepts all strays and surrenders within its jurisdiction.
Primarily homeless dogs and cats. For wildlife or other animals, they direct people to local animal control or the Southeastern Raptor Center for birds of prey.
Donate money or supplies, foster, or volunteer. Fostering and adoption each free up shelter space for another animal in need.
