5 lucky dogs and 1 lucky cat were able to leave the shelter yesterday to spend some time with the nice folks at Nassau County Emergency Management. The dogs got to play in the grass and gave lots of kisses to the staff. The sweet little kitty, Tofu, was also a big hit with the staff and she enjoyed snuggling with the ladies in the office. Ans we are super excited to announce that she found a new home with Martha! Thank you Martha for adopting her and giving her a furever home.

October's Purrfect Cat Library Café was so popular that residents couldn't wait for the next one to be scheduled. Nassau County Animal Services and the Nassau County Public Library heard your requests and have partnered to bring additional events in December.

Grab a drink, read a book, and cuddle with friendly, adoptable felines! The Cat Café will be open on Friday, December 9th and Saturday, December 10th from 9am-6pm, and on Sunday, December 11th from 10am-2pm. Tickets are $15 for each person visiting with the cats and each ticket will give you one hour of reading and cuddling time. Reservations are required and tickets can be purchased on the Library's website.  Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate will be available for purchase along with t-shirts, coffee mugs and tumblers.

On Friday, December 9th at 6pm, the Library will host a special Pajama Story Time. Children are invited to attend in their pajamas for a bedtime story and time to mingle with adoptable cats. Each child in attendance will receive a special holiday treat. Tickets for this special program are also $15 and tickets can be purchased on the Library's website. 

While we are looking for loving families for the cats, adoption is not necessary to participate in either event. 

All proceeds from the event will benefit the Nassau County Public Library System and Nassau County Animal Care & Control. 

If you have any questions, please contact the Library at (904) 530-6500.

11/4/22 @ 9:00 a.m. - On Monday, October 31st, Nassau County Animal Services and the Nassau County Public Library System hosted the County's first Cat Café. This event allowed residents to purchase a ticket to spend one hour hanging out adoptable felines while reading books and drinking coffee.  We are excited to announce that the event sold out! On Tuesday, November 1st, the weekly story time with Michelle featured a cat themed story and additional time with the cats. This event sold out as well! 

During the two-day event, residents browsed the book collection, children enjoyed cat themed picture books, and families spent time together enjoying the cats. And most importantly, the cats were able to get out of the shelter to play and socialize with people. Three cats ended up getting adopted too! The County has received a lot of positive feedback from the community and inquiries about when we would host this event again. We have listened and are already planning the next Cat Café days! Stay tuned for details.
