Geelong Animal Welfare Society (GAWS) is overflowing with felines waiting for their forever homes.
Moolap-based GAWS is offering a reduced adoption fee of $29 during its Feline Frenzy promotion this weekend in the hope to rehome as many cats as possible and ease pressure on the shelter, staff, resources and the animals.
GAWS CEO Helen Cocks said both the shelter and foster care program are inundated with cats needing loving forever homes.
“We encourage anyone who has been considering a cat companion to visit and adopt from GAWS this weekend,” she said.
“Not only will you gain a new family member, you will be giving a cat a second chance of a happy life and making space for more animals who need our help.”
People can meet all available cats at GAWS during the two day Feline Frenzy promotion on January 21 and 22.
“GAWS has a variety of cats to suit any lifestyle,” Ms Cocks said.
“We have laidback seniors deserving of a relaxing retirement home and young playful cats looking for their forever family. We have affectionate cats, chatty cats and shy cats, and our friendly staff will be on hand to assist in finding the perfect match.”
The Feline Frenzy provides a saving of almost $100 – cat adoption fees are usually $120. Despite the low price, the usual GAWS adoption procedures will apply during the weekend promotion to ensure animals are matched to the right home. All adoption animals are de-sexed, microchipped, vaccinated and flea and worm treated.
The shelter will be open from 10am to 4pm both days and people interested in adopting are advised to arrive before 3pm to complete the adoption process.
The promotion excludes kittens under the age of six months and special breeds.
