June is National Adopt-A-Cat Month take advantage of reduced adoption fees

PRESS RELEASE:

During the month of June, Asheville Humane Society is partnering with Best Friends Animal Society to participate in a national adoption promotion for cats! Adoption fees will be reduced for all cats 6 months of age and up! For $10.00, you can adopt a feline friend complete with all up-to-date vaccines, spay/neuter, microchipping, initial flea preventative, a free starter bag of food, one month of complimentary pet health insurance, and a free post-adoption veterinary office visit with a participating veterinarian.

Pam Burgess, Adoption Services Director, is hoping this promotion will bring attention to all of the adult cats who need homes. “Spring brings kittens, but there are also many adult cats who get overlooked during kitten season,” she said. “We are always excited to partner with Best Friends, and this is a great way to remind the public to adopt a cat during National Adopt-A-Cat Month!”

The promotion will run from June 1-June 30, making this Father’s Day a perfect opportunity to bring home a cat! Stop by Asheville Humane Society to meet all adoptable cats, or view them online by visiting ashevillehumane.org.
