King County Animal shelters launch special reduced $25 adoption fee on adult cats; $40 for kittens

The time has never been better to adopt an adult cat or kitten from King County's Animal Shelters. Through the end of November, the adoption price for kittens has been dropped to only $40, and adult cats are now $25. King County Animal Shelters continue to have a variety of adoptable cats and kittens, providing a great opportunity to add a new member to your family for much less than the regular $75 adoption fee.

"Our animal shelters have many affectionate cats and kittens awaiting new homes," said Al Dams, Acting Manager of King County Animal Care and Control. "There is an incredible selection of cats and kittens to choose from, all at a great price." 

While kittens are usually the first cats to be adopted, potential pet owners should also consider older cats. Mature cats can be lower maintenance, offer plenty of lap-cat companionship and better suit those who are frequently out of the house. A more calm, settled nature, plus the ability to better adapt to a new environment are other advantages of mature cat companionship.

King County's adoption fee covers initial vaccinations, spay or neuter surgery, vet check, the first year of a King County pet license, education materials, and a cat carrier.
