June is Adopt-A-Month and boy, do we have great cats to adopt!  We have kittens, too, but it's Adopt-A-Cat Month, not adopt a kitten.  Some really terrific cats have been here awhile waiting patiently.  I think it's time that they move to their forever homes.  Meet Aida.  She has learned to sit and give a high-five during her stay at the League.  If someone is looking for the perfect cat with dog-like qualities, here she is.  And, Carmen Jones!   Wow, she's a sweetie.  And, she's also got some exotic lineage that accounts for  her extreme intelligence and read-to-play attitude.   I was told she looks like a Turkish Van Swimming Cat.  Truth be told, I'd never heard of such a breed, so I looked it up and sure enough the description fits Carmen Jones perfectly.  From her coloring, to the texture of her fur, to her "love me" exuberance, I'm  convinced that our cat room cutie is a Turkish Van cat.

June is the perfect month for Aida and Carmen Jones to move from the League's shelter to their new digs.  They are both spayed, up-to-date on all of their vaccinations and ready to go.

June is ADOPT a cat Month

While June is officially designated Adopt-A-Cat Month, by the looks of your cat room, every month should be Adopt-A-Cat Month.  Every cat condo is full of personable adult cats just waiting for that special someone to come by and say, "That's the cat!  I love him (or her)."  And our inside lobby showcase windows are teeming with kittens!    Cute, rambunctious, "Take Me, Take Me" kittens.  

We are hoping that the special event designation will increase adoptions at the League.  In honor of the national event, the League has waived cat fees.  But, that does not mean that there are FREE cats -- there's no such thing.   Food, bowls, toys, vet visits, scratching posts, litter boxes AND lots and lots of kitty litter, veterinarian visits and more add up quickly.   Taking in a cat or kitten is a lifetime commitment that comes with financial responsibilities and emotional bonds.   People lucky enough to share their lives with a cat, or two (or more), wouldn't have it any other way.  The companionship, the love, and the humor offered by a cat is beyond compare.  Come by the League and celebrate Adopt-A-Cat Month.
