Hurricane Irene Brings Adoption Specials at SPCA

With Hurricane Irene heading up the East Coast and right for our area, the is offering "hurricane" adoption specials through Sunday. 

The cats and kittens at the SPCA are in desperate need of adoption since the facility is at capacity and may need to euthanize for space, a last resort but a harsh reality when involved with animal control, according to Director of Community Relations at the SPCA Justina Calgiano.

The shelter will offer reduced "hurricane" specials through Sunday. All adult cats (6 months and older) will be free to good homes and kittens will be $50. All adult dogs (6 months and older) will be 50 percent off. The 50 percent off applies to dogs on current specials, such as the shelter’s Summer Lovers, a $20.11 and $30 Thursday. Through the Hurricane special, these dogs will be a $10.05 adoption fee and a $15 adoption fee, respectively.

These reduced adoption fees include spay/neuter surgery, a microchip with a lifetime registration, a complimentary vet visit and all required vaccinations.

The "tan" cat special is also still running through August. The orange, red or brown, colored cats, six months or older, is 50 percent off throughout the month.
