June is nationally recognized as Adopt-A-Shelter Cat Month and Santa Barbara County Animal Services is letting the “cat out of the bag,” by offering $20 cat adoptions on all felines 5 months and older.

As kittens are inundating shelters around the nation, Adopt-A-Shelter Cat Month brings the focus on adult cats still waiting for their new homes. June 1st through June 16th all adult cat adoptions, which include vaccinations, spay or neuter, a health check, a microchip, and a complimentary bag of Science Diet food, are discounted to $20. That is a $55 savings!

There are many benefits to adopting an adult cat from the shelter: Adult cats have established personalities and shelter staff can assist you in finding the best match. Adult cats have also finished going through the kitten stages of chewing objects or getting into things. Most adult cats are content to enjoy their owner’s company and lounge in their favorite spot. New cat owners make a difference as adult cats often get overlooked during kitten season and can suffer stress-related illnesses while living long periods in a shelter.

If you have been looking for a new feline family member be sure to make a stop at your local Santa Barbara County Animal Services’ Shelter before June 16th. Knowledgeable staff and volunteers will be on hand to help you select the “purrfect match”. Adoption hours are Monday through Friday from 10am-4:30pm and Saturday from 10am-4pm at the following locations:
