For a Very Limited Time: Adopt Any Cat or Kitten for $1
Anyone who is fortunate enough to enjoy the unbiased and unconditional love of a pet will tell you that you can't place a price on the love and companionship an animal can provide. That is why Friends of DCACC is making it possible for everyone to experience the joy of living with and caring for a beloved pet by reducing the adoption fee for any adult cat or kitten. Now for a limited time, the Friends of DCACC Foundation will subsidize $99 of each cat/kitten adoption fee, making it possible for you to adopt any cat or kitten for only $1 each. With kids home from school, extra time off and "stay-cations" forecasted, summer is the perfect time to bring a new family member home (or two). Adoption not only saves the life of the animal you adopt, but that of another animal in need arriving at the shelter. Hurry, this offer won't last long! For more information about the Friends of DCACC Foundation, visit the Foundation website.
