(CBS DETROIT) -- Detroit Animal Care said it will be waiving adoption and licensing fees through April 11 in celebration of Opening Day.

Adoptions are free for all cats and dogs, which are fully vaccinated, microchipped and neutered.

"We are celebrating Opening Day and Kitten Season," Mark Kumpf, director of Detroit Animal Care said, adding they are also taking in days-old kittens. "April is traditionally when we experience a higher volume intake of kittens. We obtained a state-of-the-art incubator to give our youngest kitties a good chance to survive in a shelter and give our team time to locate a foster who is willing to bottle feed. When given an opportunity to save more lives, we always choose to do so."

Listings of pets available for adoption or fostering will be updated throughout the week on the Detroit Health Department's Instagram and Facebook pages.

The Detroit Animal Care is open to the public from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at 7401 Chrysler Drive.
