Cat Shack Adoption Day

Whitehall, PA 18052
Volunteers will be available every Sat from 12-2 to show off our adoptable cats. Please note that the Cat Shack cats are available to be seen in the Petsmart adoption cages every day!.... located near the fish tanks.
The Cat Shack continues to offer low cost spay/neuter clinics where stray and feral cats can be altered to help curb the serious cat overpopulation problem.
Please spay and neuter your pets and, if you are feeding stray or feral cats, please be responsible and have them spayed and neutered also. It is up to us, the animals lovers that care about these cats, to assure that there is a GOOD home available for every kitten born. We all need to do our part to prevent the birth of new cats that will never be adopted.
We have so many wonderful pets who would love to have a home with you. Check them out!And, we would LOVE your support of our various fundraisers and programs!

Spay & Save Pet Adoption Day
Limerick PETCO
1844 E. Ridge Pike
Limerick, PA 19467
Spay & Save is a small organization consisting of only a handful of people; however, because Spay & Save helps people who help animals, there are many individuals in the five-county region who are involved in our cause. These are people who are independently care for many stray, abandoned and helpless animals. These are the people who, like Spay & Save, would never think of euthanizing a healthy animal.
Instead - often at great personal sacrifice - they jointly make it possible for thousands of dogs and cats to live long, healthy and happy lives. Spay & Save is proud to be associated with the animal lovers and rescuers who call us for assistance. See loving adoptables at http://spayandsave.org/view/available_dogs
