Considering an addition to the household? Cat Adopt-A-Thon ahead

Thanks to Janell for pointing out that the Seattle Animal Shelter is planning a Cat Adopt-A-Thon in West Seattle next Saturday — noon-3 pm September 12, Southwest Community Center (2801 SW Thistle; map). thecats.jpgAnd if you have room for two, they’ll offer a two-for-one deal, plus discounted fees for seniors and people with disabilities. Most if not all of the cats at this Adopt-A-Thon are currently in foster care – a volunteer service which enables many more animals to have a chance at finding their “forever homes” since space at shelter facilities is limited. The official WSB feline mascots (left) wholeheartedly endorse events like this, as both were adopted from shelters as adults, one of them from a city-sponsored foster-cat Adopt-A-Thon just like this one. Here’s the flyer (which also lists events in other Seattle neighborhoods later this fall).

    So many kitties need homes and the older ones are so grateful and loving….I hope everyone checks this event out!

    Thanks for the info. I will definitely check it out. I’ve been looking for any excuse to add another tabby into my life!

    We’re currently fostering 4 kittens (now 7 weeks old) and while they are cute they are also a total handful, messy and love to terrorize our furniture and computer cables. There are so many things to love about adult cats, but their more mellow nature is probably my favorite!

Sorry, comment time is over.
