This Friday and Saturday is going to the cats as The City of Great Falls Animal Shelter offers free cat adoptions.
The shelter and Best Friends Animal Society, a leading animal welfare organization working to save the lives of cats and dogs in America’s shelters by 2025, are teaming up for another adoption campaign to encourage people to choose to adopt, not buy, their next pet.
“With the financial backing of the Best Friends Animal Society we are able to offer this great opportunity for the Great Falls community,” said Laramie Smovir, Volunteer Coordinator at the City of Great Falls Animal Shelter. “Folks that are interested in adopting a cat can come in, fill out an application, and walk out with their new purrfect friend.”
"There is a growing shelter crisis across the country and the animal welfare community won’t just sit by and let innocent pets die,” said Julie Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society. "In fact, it’s quite the opposite. We’re joining forces with our vast network of shelters and rescues across the country to host our third National Adoption Weekend since May to incentivize people to get out and adopt.”
The free adoption includes spay or neutering, current vaccinations, and a microchip. For those living within the city limits, they will need to purchase a city license at the time of adoption. They can choose a 1 year license for $15 or a lifetime license for $75.
Those interested in adopting a cat can stop by the shelter during their kennel viewing hours of 1:00-4:00 pm on Friday or 12:00-2:00 on Saturday. They can find the adoption application and a link to viewable pets on the shelters website (greatfallsmt.net/animalshelter).
This event starts at 12:00 om Friday, September 16th and ends at 2:00 pm on Saturday, September 17th.
