There are so many cats and kittens that are in need of homes at the shelter. We have pictured a few of them here but there are more so be sure and go by and take a look for yourself. A cat can be the perfect pet if you work long hours or have a very limited yard. .Also, if you are in need of Barn Cats, there are several that can be re-homed as barn cats and there will be no charge at all for them. Consider one of these handsome felines to add to your home today! Scroll all the way down to see hours of operations and location of shelter. Photos courtesy of Micah Thompson.

The Portales Police Department provides full-service animal control to all residents within the Portales city limits. Animal Control Officers attend state certification classes and are trained to handle calls for service that involve domestic animals or wildlife.
All dogs and cats kept within the city limits must get a Portales city license. This license can be picked up at the Animal Shelter. Owners should bring proof of vaccination for their pet(s). The license costs $5.00 per year. In addition to the individual animal registration, Animal Control is responsible for issuing Domestic Livestock, Residential Multi-Animal and Commercial Permits.
