Kitten season is underway at Save-A-Pet
Submitted by Save-A-Pet
Kitten season is in full swing, and Save-A-Pet in Grayslake has armfuls of kittens available for adoption.
Some of these kittens were strays, some came from a hoarding situation and some were saved from other shelters, where they otherwise may have been euthanized. Save-A-Pet's goal is to place all of these kittens into loving "forever homes" as soon as possible.
Available for adoption are shorthair and longhair kittens in a variety of colors and with many different personalities, from cuddly and laid back to energetic and playful.
At Save-A-Pet, the cost of adopting a kitten younger than 1 year of age is $150. Adoption fees include, spay/neuter surgery; age-appropriate vaccinations; microchip; testing for feline leukemia, FIV and heartworm; a cardboard cat carrier; a small bag of Hills Science Diet kitten food; and the kitten's complete medical record.
Research has shown that most kittens do better with a companion; therefore, Save-A-Pet offers a 50 percent discount when adopting two animals at the same time.
Anyone interested in adopting a kitten, cat, puppy or dog from Save-A-Pet should start by reviewing the animals available for adoption at www.saveapetil.org. There you will find complete information on the adoption process.
With kitten season underway, Save-A-Pet is in desperate need of extra supplies such as KMR (kitten milk replacer), Friskies Canned Cat Food Pate (any flavor), Fancy Feast canned food (any flavor), canned tuna in water, Feline Pine litter, Feline Wheat Litter and Tidy Cat litter (clay, non- clumping).
If you would like to donate any of these items, they can be dropped off from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, or 1-8 p.m. Thursdays at Save-A-Pet, 31664 Fairfield Road in Grayslake. Save-A-Pet is closed Tuesdays.
Interested adopters should visit Save-A-Pet the week of July 26 or soon after, as many kittens will be ready for adoption at that time.
Save-A-Pet is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and one of the largest no-kill cat and dog rescues in Lake County that also operates a full-time adoption center. They provide a safe haven for abused, neglected, injured, lost, or animals that have escaped euthanasia.
