Jamaica Pets Who Need A Home: Iris, Bruce, Sabrina & More

Want to add to your family and make a positive impact on the Jamaica community at the same time? Perhaps it’s finally time to adopt a pet! Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and facilities still working to place pets with families.

For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for a new fur child is at For Animals Inc Shelter, where Sabrina the cat is waiting patiently, or another local adoption center. If you aren’t sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed.

Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a cat person, meet Iris, a Domestic Short Hair mix up for adoption. If dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
