Cat adoption fees waived

VERO BEACH — Adoption fees for kittens and cats will be waived at an adoption event this weekend, according to the Humane Society of Vero Beach & Indian River County.

The “Get Your CatFax” adoption event will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the agency’s adoption and education center, 6230 77th Street, Vero Beach. Adoption fees have been waived thanks to the agency’s donors.

“During the summertime, we have many homeless cats and kittens who are brought to our shelter,” Director of Operations Maria Ramirez said. “Our CatFax promotion is a fun way to get the word out that shelter cats need homes.”

All kittens and cats are sprayed or neutered, have vaccinations and microchips, officials said. Those available for adoption can be seen on the agency’s website.

For more information, call Janet Winikoff, director of education, at 772-571-6418 or the agency’s adoption department at 772-388-3331 at extension 110.

Huge backups on first day of bridge closure

The first two days of the week-long total closure of the 17th Street Bridge went about as expected – with long lines on the alternate route between the island and the mainland of Vero Beach, the Merrill P. Barber Bridge and its approaches. Motorists traveling between the island and the mainland found out that it took them about twice as long as normal to reach their destinations as all traffic that normally takes the 17th Street Bridge, about 20,000 vehicles per day and perhaps more in season – was detoured and rerouted to the Barber bridge. The Vero Beach Police Department warned motorists about delays and said it had officers out on Indian River Boulevard Tuesday to help direct the ...
