The Cape Coral Animal Shelter will be handing out Christmas presents to its resident cats and dogs on Christmas Day, starting at 1 p.m.

Since it opened in 2020, the Cape Coral Animal Shelter has found homes for over 4,000 unwanted, abandoned and neglected animals. Although shelter staff hopes every animal finds a loving home quickly, ultimately there will be cats and dog in the shelter on Christmas Day. To make the day special for those residents, staff and volunteers will hand out presents to each dog and cat in the shelter, give them a special dinner and shower them with the same love they will soon be getting in their forever home.

Last week, Sadie from the “Logan and Sadie Morning Show” on 96.9 WINK delivered donated toys and treats from listeners. These gifts, along with other donations, will be part of the Christmas Day celebration for the shelter residents.

Although the shelter has enough treats and toys currently, CCAS is always accepting donations from the community. Those wishing to donate can check out the current Wish List of items as well as the shelter’s Chewy and Amazon Wish Lists at capecoralanimalshelter.com.
