Mobile, AL
Mobile County's animal shelter, serving the unincorporated parts of the county and taking in strays and owner-surrendered cats and dogs from outside the city of Mobile's own shelter area.
Cats: $70 - includes spay/neuter, rabies vaccination, 5-in-1 vaccine, dewormer, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm testing (6mo+) and microchipping. Fees may be adjusted for sponsorships and grants.
Bring a valid driver's license, and your lease agreement showing pets are allowed if you rent.
Complete the adoption application (available as a PDF on the shelter's website), then visit during open hours.
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.
A valid driver's license, and your lease agreement showing you are allowed to have pets if you rent.
Yes. All animals adopted from the shelter must be spayed or neutered before going to their new home, done by a contracted local veterinarian.
Seven days, before it becomes the property of Mobile County Animal Control.
Owner surrender depends on space availability, for residents of unincorporated Mobile County only, as a last option. Consider rehoming through home-home.org first.
