ADOPT A FELINE STAR DURING “PURRmiere” MONTH AT THE CLEVELAND APL!





$25 Adult Cat Adoption Fee, $50 for Kittens, Free for Seniors

In celebration of Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, for the month of June, the APL has undergone a transformation into “Purrywood” and is hosting homeless, feline celebrities who played starring roles in locally produced films such as Iron Cat, The Incredible Cat, Cats and the City, and Kingdom of the Many Kitties! OK ... not really, but it’s totally fun and the cats ARE incredible and desperately need homes!

Purrywood’s feline celebrities, like Sarah JessiCat Parker and HarriCat Ford, will be available for immediate adoption. Adult cats, aged 5 months and older, will be adopted for $25 and kittens under 5 months for $50. The adoption fee includes initial vaccines, FeLV/FIV testing, treatment for parasites, spay or neuter surgery, a collar and tag, travel box, one month’s pet insurance, and a health exam from a local veterinarian. Adoption fees for senior citizens over 60 years of age will be waived compliments of the Pets for the Elderly Foundation. Photos of adoptable stars can be viewed at http://www.clevelandapl.org/.

PURRmiere Month is part of the Cleveland APL’s ongoing campaign to find homes for every adoptable animal. “We believe our homeless cats are stars and that by adopting one, families will add years of joy, entertainment, and rewarding companionship their homes,” explains Ayse Casson, Director of Operations at the Cleveland APL, ”We invite our community to join our life-saving efforts by welcoming a shelter animal into their home ... and having some fun with us while they’re at it!”

There is never a limit on the amount of time an animal may stay at the APL. The Cleveland APL has been serving the animals and people of Northeast Ohio since 1913.
