Free Cat Week At NYC ASPCA

Sixteen months ago I adopted my beloved Shelley at the wonderful East Harlem ASPCA, so I must mention that this week they are waiving their adoption fees on all adult cats over three years old.

Free Cats! For a limited time only, we’re making an offer you can’t refuse. From September 20 to 28, the ASPCA is hosting “Free Over Three,” and adopting all adult cats—ages three and older—for FREE! The regular adoption process still applies and you can only take home two cats, but we’re waiving all fees. You’ll also receive a pet carrier and a 14-day voucher for a free exam at the ASPCA’s Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital. All of our cats are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and microchipped. So come on down to 424 East 92nd Street in New York City, and meet the feline of your dreams!

Everybody seems to want a kitten, but I found so many beautiful adult cats at the East Harlem shelter that I broke my heart to leave with only Shelley in my arms.

Click here to see the adult cats presently available; I'm partial to tough guy Ricky. As you can see above, Shelley is still a wee thing at nine pounds, but that's about 30% more than when I got her. The shelter has called twice to follow up on her and inquired about her weight and health each time. Wonderful people.
