Our Cats
(see below for adoption procedures)
IMPORTANT FYI - UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
As of Monday, 5/18 - we have cats at the Batavia Petco available for adoption. You can stop in during Petco business hours and fill out an adoption application. Volunteers will be in each day to review applications and contact potential adopters.
We are excited to announce that as of May 11, 2026, a major renovation project has officially begun at the Genesee County Animal Shelter. While we look forward to the improvements this will bring to our facility, we anticipate several challenges during the construction phase. We truly appreciate your continued support and patience as we navigate this transition.
Throughout the project, we expect the front lobby and cat area to remain open to the public, and the procedure for visiting our cats will remain unchanged. However, please note that as of May 18, 2026, dogs will no longer be housed on-site at the shelter.
To meet any of our adoptable dogs, you will now be required to make an appointment. You can schedule a visit by calling 585-343-6410 (option 7) or by stopping by the shelter during regular adoption hours to speak with an Animal Control Officer or a volunteer. If you visit in person to inquire about a dog, we will assist you in scheduling a meet-and-greet for a later time.
As with any construction project, we anticipate changes to the schedule and public access to the Shelter. We will attempt to keep you updated via our website and Facebook page.
Additionally, due to serious storage constraints during construction, we are limiting our donations to a temporary "Construction Wish List."
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.
Misty is an adult spayed female Black DSH. She is super sweet and curious! She enjoys exploring as well as getting attention from all the volunteers. Misty is officially our first kitty to use our NEW cat cages. They are so beautiful and spacious. Here she is checking out her new digs.
Yoda is a sweet senior boy who prefers to spend as much time sleeping in your lap as possible. He does have some dry sneezing spells and does gentle "love bites" therefore would probably be best in a home without small children. He is good with other cats and with dogs, but needs to be introduced slowly. He is a fantastic, cuddly boy looking for a forever home where he can snuggle up and watch tv or sit on someone's lap while they are reading. Yoda is currently in a foster home.
Adopted! At the Batavia Petco: Ralph is a 3 month old neutered male Black DSH. He and his brother, Felix the tiger (also 3 months old and neutered) are currently available for adoption at the Batavia Petco. Stop in to say hi to these two sweet kittens.
Adopted! At the Batavia Petco: Pearl is an adult spayed female Tiger DSH. Poor Pearl was dumped alongside the road. She has a lot of hair loss most likely from fleas so she looks a little rough. But with a little TLC she will once again be a beautiful kitty!
