I Found A Pet

  • Cats are allowed to roam freely in Whitman County. Stray, healthy cats will not be taken by animal control to WCHS unless the cat is injured and the owner is unknown.


    ​If the cat is injured or sick, or you find a kitten, please call your local police department to create a report, and then call WCHS!

  • Use this tool from the ASPCA to best decide how to proceed with kittens.

    If bringing the kittens to the shelter is the best option please call your local police department to create a report, and then call WCHS!

  • Contact WCHS at 509-332-3422 to file a Found Report.

  • Call non-emergency dispatch at 509-332-2521.

For all dogs and cats impounded at WCHS there is a $25 fee, in addition to an $8 boarding fee for each additional day, we care for your animal in the shelter. Owners outside of the city of Pullman must show proof of a current, valid pet license from municipalities where it is required.

Stray pets are made available for adoption after 3 days if the pet has no identification (microchip or tags) and 6 days if the pet has some form of identification.  If you have not contacted WCHS in that period, the animal becomes the property of WCHS and will be evaluated for adoptability.

Purposeful compliance with animal control regulations is the best way to avoid this sometimes inconvenient process of reclaiming your pet.
