At the heart of Burbank, the Burbank Animal Shelter is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in need. With a focus on community engagement and humane care, the shelter works tirelessly to ensure every animal has the opportunity for a happy, loving home. Whether it’s through their senior pet adoption program or their innovative Barn Cat program, the shelter is always seeking ways to enhance the lives of animals and their new families.
There’s a special connection that forms between senior pets and senior people. The Burbank Animal Shelter has recognized this bond and created the Seniors for Seniors program, which offers a 75% discount on adoption fees for Southern California residents aged 60 or older who adopt a senior dog or cat (age seven or older). These mature pets are usually mellow, require only moderate exercise, and are already trained, making them the perfect fit for older adults. In return, these senior pets provide love, companionship, and documented health benefits to their new owners, making it a win-win situation for all.
This program is part of the shelter’s commitment to enriching the lives of both pets and people by matching older animals with those who appreciate the slow-paced, affectionate nature of senior pets.
Not all cats are suited to indoor living, and the Burbank Animal Shelter recognizes that some cats need a different kind of home. Their Barn Cat program provides a solution for unsocialized or feral cats that can’t be adopted as traditional pets. These outdoor cats can live fulfilling lives as working cats in barns, stables, industrial facilities, or even residential yards, where they act as natural deterrents to rodents.
Through this program, these cats, who are often overlooked, are given a second chance at life. They require minimal care—just food, water, and a safe shelter from the elements and predators. In return, they provide a valuable service by keeping rat and mice populations in check. For those who love cats but can’t have them indoors due to allergies, adopting a barn cat is an ideal solution. Plus, every cat adopted through the Barn Cat program comes fully vetted with spay/neuter services, vaccines, and a microchip.
To support incredible programs like Seniors for Seniors and the Barn Cat program, the Burbank Animal Shelter is hosting an online auction through BiddingOwl. The auction offers the community a fun and engaging way to get involved, bid on exciting items, and make a real impact on the lives of the animals in their care.
From dining experiences and pet care products to unique local services, there’s something for everyone in this auction. By participating, you not only have the chance to win great prizes, but you’ll also be directly supporting the shelter’s mission to care for animals and find them loving homes.
Every bid, every donation, and every adoption helps the Burbank Animal Shelter continue its mission of reducing animal homelessness and improving the lives of pets. By supporting the shelter through their auction, you’re contributing to vital programs that provide medical, behavioral, and social care for animals in need.
Whether you’re ready to bid in the auction or adopt a senior pet or barn cat, your involvement makes a difference. Visit the auction page at BiddingOwl to explore the exciting items up for bid, or contact the shelter to learn more about their adoption programs. Together, we can help animals find the love and care they deserve.
