National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week

While the Indian Summer weather may be deceptive, November is already upon us! And that means that this week, the first week of the month, is National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week!

This year, Pets Lifeline has joined up with five of the area's animal shelters to create a Cat-A-Thon Adoption Event. This Saturday, if you visit any of the Sonoma County animal shelters, the adoption fee for all cats and kittens has been reduced to an across-the-board 30 dollars. An exam by a veterinarian, spaying/neutering, vaccinations, viral testing and a microchip are all included in the fee.

There are more than 500 cats and kittens in the county looking for new, permanent homes. So if you're looking for that perfect pet to compliment your family, why not come out on Saturday and see the many animals in search of a loving family?!

Participating shelters include: Pets Lifeline, Healdsburg Animal Shelter, Petaluma Animal Shelter, Rohnert Park Animal Shelter, Sonoma County Animal Care & Control, and Sonoma Humane Society.
