Celebrating National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month
It only makes sense that June is adopt-a-cat month since June is also “kitten season.” This time of the year is when females are giving birth to the most adorable kittens left and right…and CHS has been bombarded with these kittens who need good homes.
Not only do all our cute kittens need homes, but we have some really great adult cats that are looking for their forever homes as well.
So why should you adopt a cat from a shelter?
By adopting a cat from a shelter, you are giving them a much deserved second chance at life in a great home. Every cat comes to a shelter with a different story, some we know, some we don’t know. But one this is for sure, they all deserve to be loved and well taken care of in a forever home.
Here’s 10 reasons:
- You’ll save a life!
- Don’t support animal cruelty
- Shelter cats have varied personalities to choose from
- You’ll feel better
- Adult cats are low maintenance
- Set an example for other
- You can teach old cats new tricks
- Shelter staff can help you choose the perfect companion
- They are ready to go!
- They come in all shapes, sizes and colors
Not only are you saving the pets life, you are greatly enhancing your own! Studies have shown that having a pet in your life will help you live longer, feel more relaxed and generally healthier. Who wouldn’t want someone to unconditionally love them? And that is exactly what adopting a shelter pet will do for you!

For June, to get these precious kitties into good homes, we are offering $10 off one or $25 off two cat or kitten adoptions! All of our cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, given flea and worm treatment, and tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline HIV. Some of them are even microchipped.
To adopt your cute and cuddly furball, please visit CHS at 1515 Carmen Drive, Jackson during normal business hours (Tues-Sat Noon to 6pm).
