In celebration of International Cat Day on August 8, AARF is launching a weeklong cat and kitten adoption special. From August 3 to 8, community members can adopt a single cat or kitten for $100, or two cats or kittens for $150. The promotional fee includes spay or neuter surgery, vaccinations, deworming, flea treatments, a FeLV/FIV test, and a microchip.

“Every cat deserves a loving home, and International Cat Day is the perfect reminder of that,” said Bailey Larson, AARF’s intake and adoption coordinator. “We have so many wonderful cats waiting for their chance to be loved — and sometimes, the best thing you can do is adopt two so they can keep each other company.”

AARF has many kittens and cats ready for adoption, all viewable at Available Cats — AARF. Some adoptable cats are staying at the AARF House, 302 Thurston Street in Winston-Salem, where visitors can meet them in person. Others are currently living with foster families and will be onsite during AARF’s weekly cat adoption fair on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Prospective adopters can streamline the process by submitting applications in advance at www.aarfws.org/adopt.
