PAWS waives adoption fee for Senior Cats

Washingtonians responded with open arms to PAWS’ June challenge to consider cats as ideal companions.

June 30 marked the conclusion of the American Humane Association’s Adopt-A-Cat Month initiative that PAWS joined in June. As a participant in the national campaign, PAWS offered adoption fees waived on Thursdays for every cat over three years of age.

“Adopt-a-cat-month was a hit with animal lovers!” said Steph Renaud, PAWS’ Cat City Supervisor, “This month, we found happy new forever homes for 28 adult cats, many of them 10 years or older, from both our popular U-District’s Cat City and our Lynnwood Companion Animal Services Shelter.”

PAWS Cat City also hosted a sold out ‘Cat Behavior 101’ class which informed locals on this often under-represented companion animals’ many adorable traits.

“There’s no doubt that when it comes to adoptable pets, dogs do get the majority of the attention.” Ms. Renaud said, “But we’ve seen firsthand how cats play a very important role in many families in the region.”

PAWS is extending its fee-waived initiative on cats 10 years and older throughout the summer at both the Companion Animal Shelter in Lynnwood, WA and Cat City in Seattle’s University District.

PAWS is a champion for animals–rehabilitating injured and orphaned wildlife, sheltering and adopting homeless cats and dogs, and educating people to make a better world for animals and people.
