Now is the time to adopt a new feline family member! The Dumb Friends League will extend its no-cost adoption promotion for felines through Sunday, Sept. 5. Adoption fees are waived for all cats and kittens at both shelter locations.
The League began waiving feline adoption fees on July 28 due to a cat crisis. Since then, the region’s largest animal welfare organization has adopted more than 1,136 felines. But, there are still more than 460 cats and kittens in the League’s care at this time.
“We want to see cats in loving homes not in a shelter, which is why we are waiving adoption fees,” said Theresa Geary, vice president of operations. “The most important thing that we can do right now is place these cats into homes.”
Feline adoption fees typically range from $55 to $115 and include the following: spay/neuter surgery, initial vaccinations, microchip ID implant and registration, a 15-day healthcare program and a free office visit with a participating veterinarian. The League spends approximately $300 for each homeless cat, including shelter, food and medical care.
The free cat adoptions are offered at both the Quebec Street shelter in Denver and the Buddy Center in Castle Rock.
“We want to see cats in loving homes not in a shelter, which is why we are waiving adoption fees,” said Theresa Geary, vice president of operations. “The most important thing that we can do right now is place these cats into homes.”
Families that cannot adopt at this time may still help by becoming foster parents for needy cats or dogs. The League provides foster families with food and supplies, as well as veterinary care for pets as needed.
“We need everyone’s help to prevent more pets coming through our doors,” said Geary. “It’s essential that people with unaltered cats and dogs have them spayed or neutered.”
In addition to spaying and neutering every adoptable pet at both shelters, the League also offers donor-subsidized spay/neuter surgeries for pets in underserved areas. These surgeries are performed by licensed veterinarians on the Meow Mobile and the LuLu Mobile.
