My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Gourd is a purr-fect little pumpkin ready to fill your home with warmth and love this Thanksgiving season. At just 5 months old, this sweet boy embodies the spirit of autumn with his playful personality and affectionate nature. Gourd loves to chase after feather toys and will eagerly pounce on a string, showing off his energetic and playful side. When it's time to wind down, he adores curling up in a cozy lap, purring contentedly while you enjoy a relaxing evening. Gourd is a true delight and is sure to bring joy and gratitude to your family, making every day feel like a festive celebration.

More about this shelter

The Cabarrus County Animal Shelter is one of the core responsibilities of Cabarrus County Animal Control, a division of the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office. The shelter is an open admission shelter, which means we do not turn away any animal in need. We are a public facility that provides safe temporary shelter for homeless animals while the staff searches for permanent homes for the animals through community adoption or transfers to Rescue Partners. The animal shelter also provides a variety of other services for the community. The animal shelter is NOT a pet boarding facility. While the shelter is open admission, we do require pre-scheduled appointments for all owner surrenders. Please see our hours of operation for details.

Staff at the Cabarrus County Animal Shelter is committed to placing safe and healthy animals in the community by searching for appropriate permanent homes for adoptable animals. We work with approved Rescue Partners locally and nationally to place animals with workable behavior concerns and treatable medical issues with groups with the resources to take on those specific cases. To determine if an animal is adoptable, shelter staff must rule out any underlying medical conditions and/or temperaments that present safety risks to the community. Euthanasia is a last resort. When necessary, euthanasia is carried out with respect to the animals by a Certified Euthanasia Technician following best-practice guidelines set by the NC Department of Agriculture. It is important to Cabarrus County that all animals at the shelter receive care and compassion.
