Kitten season has arrived, and the San Francisco SPCA is embracing Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month with Cat-A-Palooza. In order to save the most lives possible, adoption fees are being lowered for a short time. Kitten adoption fees will remain the same at $150, but if a second kitten is adopted within 30 days, the fee for that kitten will be $50.
Buddies for Life? They could be.
Even better, Thursdays are now Purrsdays. Two kittens can be adopted for the cost of one. Wouldn’t it be fun to see two siblings spend the rest of their lives together?
If they get along, having two kitties in your home can be a lot of fun! They can entertain and comfort each other when you’re not around. It’s also wonderful watching their individual personalities evolve over the years.
This is Ferrari. If he's still at Maddie's Adoption Center by Friday, I'm going to be really upset.
This is Ferrari. His sister was adopted on Tuesday, and he spent all day Monday trying to get attention in the middle of the lobby, pretty much pulling the heartstrings of anyone passing by. But for some reason, he still didn’t find his forever home by the end of the day.
With the arrival of kitten season, it’s kind of rough on the adults. We sometimes find ourselves showing so many kittens to the public, we aren’t getting a chance to give them visits. To help them get adopted, adult cats 6 months and up can go to their new homes, and all the adopter has to do is name their fee. The suggested donation is somewhere between $20 and $150.
FInally, I was happy to learn about the Seniors Kittizens for Senior Citizens discount. Any adopter over 60 can adopt a cat over 6 for a donation of $6 or more.
As proud as I am of our fantastic adoption center, in my heart I know it’s still a shelter. It’s just one stop on our cats’ journeys to their forever homes. Hopefully the last.
