C.A.R.E. Declares June Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month!

Come June, C.A.R.E. Animal Rescue is teeming with cats! Wacky kittens, adventuresome adolescents, captivating young adults, and mature hedonistic comfort-seekers…cats of all ages and personality types await the perfect match-up. Such diversity could be overwhelming if it weren't for the skilled adoption counselors on hand to help visitors discover their kindred spirits in feline form.

C.A.R.E. joins the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and the ASPCA’s on-line adoption partner, Petfinder.com in declaring June Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month.

C.A.R.E. has planned feline-oriented festivities and offerings for the month of June. The public is invited to come by to meet, greet and participate.

C.A.R.E. will host a Cat-Only Adoption Event at Pet Warehouse, 2920 East Sunshine, on Saturday, June 16 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. There will be a variety of ages, sizes and types of felines available, so you are likely to find the perfect pet for you! Each animal is spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. Adopted cats can be taken home that day!

For the month of June only, C.A.R.E. is offering a special for Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month. People will have the opportunity to adopt two cats for only one $85 adoption fee!

Happy Endings: Lilly & Whiskers' New Forever Home

During a rescue from "death row" at Animal Control, we came across Lilly, a Cocker Spaniel, and Whiskers, a Yorkshire Terrier. We found out that they have lived together in a home for the past 5 years, and were best buds. We knew that we could not split them up; they would be depressed without each other.

We are so happy to say that Lilly and Whiskers have now found a new forever home together! Their new owner, Trudy, said it was "love at first sight!" She went into C.A.R.E. wanting two dogs. "It was a bonus that they had to go together for all of us," said Trudy. They have a bright future in their forever home!  

The Pet Overpopulation Problem

This chart really shows the importance of spay/neuter! More spayed and neutered animals means less animals going into shelters.
