AURORA, IL - This fall, Aurora Animal Care and Control (AACC) will help feed those in need while finding forever homes for pets through its unique food drive and adoption special.

Now through Friday, November 19, bring $10 worth of nonperishable foods to AACC and adopt an adult cat for just $10, a kitten for only $20 or a dog for just $20. Normal adoption fees are $90.

"This is a win-win situation that addresses local needs," said AACC Manager Rick Smith. "We have a large number of pets that need to be adopted and very caring residents who want to give back to the community. Through this adoption initiative, holidays can be much more special in homes throughout our community."

All collected food items will be donated to the Aurora Area Interfaith Food Pantry and the Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry.

Adoption hours are noon to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday at AACC, 600 S. River Street.
