Looking
for an Olympic-caliber companion? Want a gold-medal champion in cuddling,
napping and chasing toys? The Dumb Friends League has a winner for you—and at a
very competitive price! From now
through Aug. 31, the Dumb Friends League is continuing its $10 adoption
special for cats 1 year and older. The
special is taking place at both shelter locations, including the Pet Care-avan
mobile adoption unit and the adoption center at Northfield-Stapleton.
“We have reduced adoption fees because we would
rather see more cats in loving homes than in our shelters,” said Bob Rohde,
president and CEO of the Dumb Friends League.
Every cat adoption includes a spay/neuter surgery, initial
vaccinations, a microchip ID and a free office visit with a participating
veterinarian. The League spends approximately $300 for each
homeless cat that comes through its doors, including shelter, foster care and
medical care.
“By choosing the adoption option, you not only get a
great deal financially, but you give a homeless pet a second chance at
happiness,” said Rohde. “Plus, adopters welcome more love and companionship
into their own lives.”
People who cannot adopt at this time can still help
by becoming a foster parent. Foster volunteers provide temporary care for an
animal in their home—for a few days, weeks or months—until they are ready for
adoption or space is available at the shelters. The League provides foster-care
volunteers with food and supplies, as well as veterinary care as needed.
To view all adoptable pets, or to get
