You can add a cat or kitten to your family for half-price from June 15 through June 29, thanks to Friends of the Pocatello Animal Shelter. 

Recently, the group chose to cover 50 percent of the adoption cost from the shelter. Residents can adopt a cat for $17.50 plus tax, or a kitten (six months old and younger) for $25 plus tax. All adoptions include vaccinations, spay or neuter surgery, a microchip for permanent identification, a license, and a collar (total value of $300).

“Thanks to Friends of the Pocatello Animal Shelter for their generosity,” said Chris Abbott, Animal Services Director. “Cats and kittens make delightful companions for anyone looking to adopt a pet. Their diverse personalities range from energetic and playful to calm and laid-back, making it easy to find a feline friend that suits your lifestyle, there's a perfect match for you.”

Animal shelters are full of cats and kittens, each one hoping to find a loving forever home. By adopting from a shelter, you're not only giving a cat a second chance but also gaining a loyal and loving companion. Consider visiting your local shelter to meet some of these wonderful cats and find the perfect addition to your family.

Friends of the Pocatello Animal Shelter is a 501(c)(3) organization and for more information on the group, visit pocatelloshelterfriends.org.
