If you’ve dreamed of having feline siblings but balked at the thought of paying two adoption fees, Willamette Humane Society has a deal for you.
The Salem-based animal rescue is holding its Clear the Shelter 2021 event Saturday at PetSmart, 2925 Lancaster Dr. N.E., from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
More than 40 cats and kittens will be available for adoption, according to a press release, with staff on hand to help with paperwork and answer questions about caring for cats.
Families that adopt two cats will have the cheaper adoption fee waived. The event comes at the tail end of “kitten season,” when shelters overflow with kittens born in the spring and summer.
Adoption fees vary by cat. Most adoptable cats listed on the shelter website have $25 to $50 fees.
“We know that some cats do best with a feline family member,” said Jean Dion, the humane society’s spokesperson, in a statement. “Two cats can keep themselves entertained all day while their families are at work. And there’s nothing cuter than two tired kittens cuddled together at the end of a long day.”
