Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Gavin is a shy DSH black and white cat with a heart full of potential, waiting for the right home where he can feel safe and secure. Though initially reserved and cautious, Gavin has a gentle soul and would thrive in an environment where patience and understanding are key. He may take some time to warm up, but once he feels comfortable, his sweet and endearing nature begins to shine through. Gavin also sports a cool, distinctive mustache that gives him an extra touch of charm and personality. He needs a family that will allow him the space to come out of his shell at his own pace, providing him with the time and care he needs to build trust.
With the right support, Gavin has the potential to form deep, meaningful bonds. His cautious demeanor doesn’t define him; it simply means he’s waiting for someone who will patiently guide him through his fears. In a calm, loving home, Gavin will gradually open up and may eventually enjoy quiet moments of affection and companionship. He’s a cat who needs someone who can see beyond his shyness and offer the time, understanding, and care that will help him truly thrive.
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.
