\u00a0While this is great news for the animals, it means our kennels are almost always full!<\/p>\n<p>To encourage the adoption of the cats that have been in the shelter for more than a year, the Humane Society of North Iowa has a program called \u201cCabin Fever Cats\u201d. \u00a0Cabin Fever Cats will have a reduced adoption fee.\u00a0 Cats that have been in the shelter for more than one year will have a reduced fee of $50.00.\u00a0 Cats that have been in the shelter more than 2 years will have a reduced fee of $25.00.<\/p>\n<p>The regular adoption fee for an adult cat is $125.00, so the reduced fee is a considerable cost savings.\u00a0 Cabin Fever Cats will have the same veterinarian services provided with their adoption: spay\/neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, feline leukemia testing, and any other needed vet services.\u00a0 Applicants will still need to meet the standard adoption protocols.<\/p>\n<p>Rescue a Cabin Fever Cat today!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:
