Nine Lives for $9 Promotion!
JULY is the height of "kitten season", wherein each year our animal shelters fill up with adorable kittens of all stripe. To help get this year's kittens into the homes they need, we are offering a special adoption fee of $9 for 9 lives for 9 days. This fee will launch on July 12, and continue for the next 9 days that the shelter is open. Naturally, kittens need very little outside help to be appealing, so remember, there are also many wonderful adult cats at our shelter waiting for good homes. If a kitten is not an absolute priority for your household, we urge you to consider an adult cat as your next companion. The great promotional price of $9 applies to cats of all ages and, as always, the cat or kitten you choose will be spayed/neutered, given age-appropriate vaccinations and microchipped. Take advantage of this one-time special price to add 9 Lives to your 1!
We DID it!
This year the Shelter, inspired by a promotion originated by Best Friends Animal Society, initiated a bold new program ‒ to promote the adoption of felines during the height of “kitten season”. Following approval by the County Board of Supervisors, 9 Lives for $9 for 9 Days started July 12 and ran through July 26. This program reduced the cost of adopting a feline friend by over $40! While the adoption fee was dramatically reduced, the services for each adopted cat remained the same. Each cat/kitten was spayed or neutered, given age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped.
A total of 45 cats and kittens found forever homes, putting a significant dent in the overwhelming cat population we experience each year at this time. Given the success of the program, we plan to make it an annual event.
