The Peterborough Humane Society (PHS) is continuing its cat adoption campaign until Thursday, August 31st, with more than 20 cats still available for adoption.

In the first week of the society’s iAdopt campaign, 22 cats have found their forever homes. The PHS has another 20 cats and five kittens available for adoption now, with more becoming available for adoption in the days ahead.

“We urgently need to find homes for the cats in our care,” says Andrew Fraser, PHS Executive Director. “We are looking for the public’s assistance to help us place cats into loving forever homes.”

During the campaign, all cats and kittens are available for adoption for $50 each. All felines are spayed or neutered, microchipped, are up to date with their vaccines, are fully dewormed and have received flea, tick, and mite control.

All cats also come with a gift of six weeks free pre-paid pet health insurance.

“If you are able to welcome a cat into your home, consider adopting during our urgent appeal,” Fraser says. “If you can’t adopt right now, please tell your friends and family about the cats in our animal centre that are waiting and longing for their new forever families.”
