Don't let sleeping cats lie

After my blog and column last week about kitten season, information started rolling in about other cat adoption events around town in addition to Kitty Korner. So here are a few more:

 

• Humane Society of Manatee County is running adoption specials through Wednesday. The Seniors for Seniors program waives all fees for people older than 50 who adopt a cat older than 2. Also, anyone can adopt two cats or kittens for $90, a $30 discount. Fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations and microchips. Call 747-8808 for more information.
• Manatee County Animal Services is also running a two-fer special, offering Cats in Pairs for $76. The 55 for $55 program allows anyone 55 or older to adopt any cat - or dog - for $55. Fees includes health check, spay/neuter, vaccinations, a county license certificate and tag, microchip, and an adoption kit. Call 742-5933 for more information.
• Gulf Shore Animal League is having an Independence Day Kitty Adopt-a-thon 11 a.m.-4 p.m. July 3 at Tractor Supply Co., 4404 State Road 64 E. Special fees include spay/neuter, vaccines and microchip. Call 747-2284 for more information, or visit http://www.gsalinc.org/.
