There will be a feline adoption event from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 21 at the Batavia Petco on Veterans Memorial Drive (located in the Target Plaza).
"Think Adoption First" is a collective effort of Petco, Volunteers for Animals and the Genesee County Animal Shelter.
There will be cats and kittens of all ages, colors and personalities. Most are spayed or neutered. All are tested for FIV/FeLV and current with shots.
The adoption fee is $30. If the animal is not spayed or neutered, there is a $35 refundable deposit.
Some are stunning forces of nature. Some are clowns and proudly so. Some are introspective, OK, aloof. Others are lovable because they let you love on them. Indisputably, they are the best cats in Genesee County, quite possibly North America.
Also, six cages are inside the store, so you can meet and greet a cat during regular store hours.
The same organizations teamed up last October to help homeless cats find a home. Since the Batavia Petco opened, more than 300 cats and kitties from the animal shelter have been adopted out of the store.
Nationwide, it is "kittens season" and shelters are inundated. And the GCAS is no exception.
You are encouraged to come out and visit the cats. You just never know who you may meet. It could be your next BFF.
