Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Shakira is a stunning brown and black domestic shorthair tabby with a heart full of potential waiting to shine. This reserved beauty is a little on the shy side, but with the right home, she’s sure to bloom into a loving and devoted companion.
Shakira’s quiet nature makes her perfect for a calm, patient household where she can adjust at her own pace. She’s looking for someone who understands that trust takes time and is willing to offer her the gentle encouragement and space she needs to come out of her shell.
Though she might seem timid at first, Shakira has a sweet and curious side that peeks through when she feels safe. Watching her grow in confidence and learning her quirks will be a rewarding journey for anyone lucky enough to call her their own.
If you’re looking for a feline friend who will appreciate your love and patience and form a special bond with you, Shakira could be the perfect match! Give her the chance to find her groove and make her heart sing in a forever home.
Meet and greet/adoption appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt!
DON'T FORGET! Cats often do better with a friend! All our cats and kittens have an "Adopt one and the 2nd at half the adoption fee!" bonus!!!
Our kitten/cat adoption fees vary on age, special needs, lonely heart status (cats that have been with us 6+ months), and for our senior to seniors program. Our adoption fees include the following: all of our cats/kittens are current on vaccinations (FVRCP series and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), treated for fleas/ticks/earmites in addition to being spayed or neutered once the cat reaches 2 lbs in weight. All cats and kittens adopted from the shelter are microchipped. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances.
Because we are on a busy street, we require that all cats leaving the shelter be in a carrier. All pets are up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee is paid.

More about this shelter
BRHS formed in 1998 to help the Brookings Animal Control Department find homes for stray animals.The unclaimed, homeless cats and dogs from Animal Control are BRHS' priority. Those unclaimed are transferred to BRHS where they get the necessary wellness care and are spayed/neutered. Animal Control brings any sick or injured animals to BRHS for immediate care.
In 2013 BRHS was very fortunate to move into its present location across from the Brookings Airport. The building was built specifically to house animals and provides a separate dog kennel area, rooms to house cats, natural lighting, and proper ventilation throughout the whole facility. There are also medical isolation, quarantine, treatment, and surgery rooms.
BRHS has been recognized for and has won multiple awards from both city and national organizations, including several Dog Rescue Awards and a nomination for the Governor’s Award.
