Story County Animal Control & Shelter is responsible for overseeing and addressing animal control issues and concerns in rural Story County, as well as 12 cities that have agreements with the county for animal control and/or sheltering services. We encourage you to submit your questions, comments, and concerns, but please note this is a moderated online discussion site and not a public forum. We are available by phone to answer your questions and schedule appointments for adoption Monday - Friday 8a.m. - 4 p.m. If you feel you have an animal control emergency please call the story county sheriffs office and they will contact us. Adoptions will be done by appointment only, after an approved application is submitted. You can apply to adopt a cat by requesting an application by messenger or visiting our website at http://www.storycountyiowa.gov/1486/Adoption-Application
If you would like to bring donations by in person, please call us so we can give you details on how to get them to us. We also have an amazon wish list. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3UCNTFIA99LLV... and now we have a separate neonatal/kitten wish list for specific supplies needed for taking care of our tiniest residents. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3UTMYMAVDPYK6...
You can sponsor a animal that is currently in our care by visiting our shelter page on Petfinder. Just click on any of our adoptable pets listed and hit the purple sponsor button. https://www.petfinder.com/search/pets-for-adoption/...
By sponsoring an animal through petfinder, the petfinder foundation notifies us right away that we have received a donation, and ensures that our shelter receives it. If the animal you sponsor gets adopted, don't worry, that money will be used to care for the many other animals waiting to find their forever homes.
