DAWS Pets of the Week: All Cats

For more information contact Lisa Chirco at lmchirco@yahoo.com or Cheryl Rykowski at cheryldaws@aol.com.

June is the American Humane Association’s Adopt a Shelter Cat Month. In support of the month-long event, the Danbury Animal Welfare Society (DAWS) will be lowering their feline adoption fees for the entire month.

The public is encouraged to visit the shelter located at 147 Grassy Plain St., Bethel during our adoption hours Monday through Friday 6-8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 2-4 p.m. For the entire month of June the adoption fee for kittens, four months and under, is $75 (regularly $125) and cats, over four months, are $50 (regularly $100).

Currently, the shelter has over 60 cats and kittens to choose from in need of good homes. From Tabbies to Calicos, Maine Coons to Russian Blues, DAWS has the cat for you. Come visit Angelica, the beautiful Maine Coon Mix  who just loves to be cuddled and brushed for hours or spunky Youkalis, a sassy little tuxedo cat who will play with you all day long.

Now that spring is here, there are also many kittens in foster homes waiting for a new family. For more information on our kittens under four months old, email cats@daws.org and an adoption counselor will assist you.

All the cats at the shelter and their informational profile can be found on the DAWS website at www.daws.org. To see the list of available cats and kittens, scroll over to “Adoption” and select “Cat Gallery.”
