If you have ever wanted to adopt a cat or kitten now is the time to do it!
The DeKalb Animal Coalition is hosting a “Sip Coffee, Help Cats” event on Saturday, April 29 from 10 a.m. until 12 noon at the shelter on Transfer Station Road behind Tenneco Automotive. Get a cup of coffee and an adoptable cat. Coffee and donuts will be available. Limited edition coffee cups will be on sale for $10 each.
“Come out Saturday to meet all our cats and kittens including our newest litters. We have 6 kittens here and they are only about 6 weeks old,” said shelter director Emmaly Bennett. “They can be adopted and claimed, they just can’t go home with you quite yet. We want to have them spayed and neutered before they leave the shelter but they are all super cute. Check out our website to see their pictures individually as well as their information, sex, age, and name. They are all playful with beautiful markings and coloring. These are just all around good kittens,” said Bennett.
“We also have 6 newborn kittens but it’ll be 4 months before they are available for adoption. Come out and see them and their mommies Saturday from 10 a.m. until 12 noon. Enjoy coffee and donuts and purchase a coffee cup. All the proceeds will benefit the cats and kittens of our community and at the shelter,” said Bennett.
“If you are interested in adopting please check out the adoptable pet’s link on our website to fill out an application at https://www.dekalbanimalsheltertn.com/ and we will call you to come in,” said Bennett.
The shelter is open Monday-Friday from 8 to 4 and Saturday from 8 to 12 at 186 Transfer Station Road. Phone 615-597-3647.
