Adopt

July, 2022 (Blasdell, NY) – In light of the current crisis in animal shelters, Tabby Town and Best Friends Animal Society have joined together for an event created to encourage more people to adopt a pet from July 22-24. 

Tabby Town is participating in this event because our Adoption Center is full to capacity with many more kittens in foster care. As a not for profit, volunteer organization, we rely on the support of you and our goal this weekend is to help you find your furever friend(s). With every cat or kitten adopted, we will also provide a free bag of food and a toy (along with your new beloved pet.) 

Our hours are from noon - 4:00 pm all 3 days of the campaign.  Please come visit us! 

Recent data released by Best Friends showed in 2021 that U.S. shelters saw an 8.1 percent increase in animal intakes that pet adoptions couldn’t keep pace with. As shelters continue to fill up with adoptable pets this summer, often exceeding their capacities, Best Friends and its participating partners have put together the adoption event to address the urgency, with more than 530 shelters, including Tabby Town. "Following the immense success of our National Adoption Weekend in May, which resulted in 4,529 lives saved, we couldn’t wait to have a second National Adoption Weekend as soon as possible,” said Julie Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society. “The summer months, and July in particular, is one of the highest intake months for animal shelters in America so we really encourage anyone who’s looking for a pet to adopt now.” 

Adopting a cat from Tabby Town is most beneficial:

• A One Stop (Adoption) Shop: Most pets that you adopt from a shelter will come vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered which saves you the time and cost of having to do it yourself. 

• You Gain a Lifetime Partner: shelters and animal welfare organizations care about your new family member and will be there to help you throughout the life of the pet with helpful resources and information. 

• You are Saving At Least Two Lives: When you adopt you are saving the life of the pet you adopt and opening a spot at a shelter or rescue for a new animal in need of a forever home.
