Adopt a furry companion at our adopt-a-thon: June is National Adopt a Cat Month

Animal Services is lowering our adoption fees for a limited time. June is National Adopt a Cat Month, but our canine friends are available too!The Animal Services Centre is hosting an adopt-a-thon to assist animals in finding their forever homes. This event is an excellent opportunity for those looking to add a pet to their family and provide a loving home to animals in need.

Join us at the Animal Service Centre for an adopt-a-thon from June 7-8 for a chance to adopt a cat for $50 or a dog for $75 – a generous discount from the usual fees, which is $173 for cats and $230 for dogs.

In recent months, the shelter has faced an unprecedented situation with a surge in the number of animals under our care. Currently, there are 30 cats and 20 dogs available for adoption.

“The high number of animals in the shelter's care is likely a result of various factors, including economic challenges, housing issues, and the city's continuous growth,” said Kathleen Dickson, Coordinator, Animal Care and Clinic Services at the Animal Services Centre.

"We believe that every pet deserves a loving home, and we're excited to make it easier than ever for Calgarians to find their 'furever' friends," said Kathleen. "The Adopt-a-thon is the perfect occasion to welcome a new family member and spread some much-needed love this spring."
