(SLO, CA, 8-01-10) Woods Humane Society encourages you to “Adopt and make it for Life”! If you are thinking about adopting a feline companion, stop by Woods Humane Society on Saturday, August 21st, between 10am-4pm for our

Viva Paws Vegas Feline Adopt-a-thon!

All feline adoption fees (cats and kittens) will be lowered to only $21 for this one day event. Adoptions include spay/neuter, vaccinations, micro chips, a cat carrier, and an entry into a raffle for a night stay at the Chumash Casino in Santa Barbara County.

Come join the festivities on August 21st and enjoy a nip of “Tropicata” Punch, all you can pet buffet, and ice cream specials compliments of our friends at Doc Burnstein’s Ice Cream Parlor.

Woods Humane Society continues to see an increase in the number of animals brought in for economic reasons. Through increased adoptions and community awareness, WHS has been able to keep pace with the growth of its feline population, but shelter staff worry that the number of animals surrendered will continue to grow throughout the summer and into the fall—peak time for litters of kittens to arrive at the shelter.

Woods Humane Society prides itself on being a premier animal care facility and every adoptable feline is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and micro-chipped prior to going home.
