Hey there, welcome to the SPCA blog. I'm Fancy, one of the many (fabulous) cats waiting for a home. Let me tell you, after a busy summer season of admitting stray kittens and pregnant moms, it's getting a little full in here. We've all been making the best of it, but between you and me, myself and the rest of the kitty crew would like a permanent home, with a place to stretch our legs, play, and get lots of loving.
Happily, the-powers-that-be here at the shelter have decided to run the
Second Annual Adopt Me, Adopt My Shadow for Free Adoption Drive a month early this year! Here's how it works. You come to the shelter, pick out the cat of your dreams (remember, my name is Fancy), and you can also adopt another cat for free! Yay, everybody wins. Your second cat is a "shadow" kitty, ones that find it harder to get adopted because of coloring, like black, grey, and black and white kitties( like Cooper, the handsome black boy to your right). The program also applies to bonded pairs, so if two cats are in the same kennel, ask the staff if they qualify.
Now, I know this sounds like a good deal, and a great amount of fun (I mean, if one cat is good, two is obviously double the pleasure), but there are a few thing to consider. Even though the adoption fee is waived, there will still be medical bills to pay for both cats. If we are not already spayed or neutered (I am, by the way), this operation must be done at the new owner's cost. Also, vaccines are needed for the kitties - we receive general vaccines at the shelter, but will still need rabies vaccines once adopted. So it is a good idea to price all that out with your vet before the adoption.
Trust me, there are a lot of great cats down here, waiting to move into your house. Its worth stopping by and having a look. Our Adoption Drive will be running from September 1-October 31, so visit us before Halloween!
Lots of love,
Fancy
