Cat lovers wanted by Multnomah County
Multnomah County Animal Services announces its special Summer Cat Adoption Campaign. Cat lovers are invited to meet all of the wonderful cats and kittens available, and the shelter hopes that reduced fees will encourage more adoptions.
Summer time is kitten season. Every summer, Multnomah County Animal Services in Troutdale is overwhelmed with stray, lost, abandoned, and orphaned cats and kittens. June through September are the peak months when the public delivers over 600 cats each month. Last year, Multnomah County Animal Services received over 5,500 cats. The dramatic increase in the number of cats is due to unwanted, unplanned litters of kittens. While kittens are always popular with adopters, there are many wonderful adult cats at the shelter hoping for a new home.
Special Summer Adoption Campaign adoption fees: First kitten -$100, second kitten -$50. All adult cats -$50.
Great value… Adoption fees include: spay/neuter, license, rabies vaccination, first set of shots, health exam, FeLV/FIV test, and microchip.
Its easy…visit our adoptable cats online at www.MultCoPets.org.
Weekend shelter hours...the shelter is open for adoptions on Saturdays and Sundays, 1:00 am to 4:30 pm.
Outreach events…volunteers are out in the community at special adoption events. Please visit our Monthly Event Calendar at www.MultCoPets.org
“We want this year to be a record-breaking summer for adopting shelter cats into new homes,” said Mike Oswald, Director of Multnomah County Animal Services. “We believe that every cat at the community’s shelter in Troutdale deserve a second chance.”
