All Pet Valus are raising money for local rescues just in time for their annual adoption weekend which kicked off Friday.
Pet Valus Summer side-London location is holding a monthly fundraiser for various animal rescues in London’s surrounding area including Elgin County rescue, Art 4 Animals and No empty bowls.
“Were trying to get some little kitties adopted at pet value summer side” Shared Chantel Snow one of the organizers with Pet value.
This weekend’s fundraiser is a Thanks-4-giving bake sale and cat adoption with Elgin County Cat Rescue and Art 4 Animals. Teddy and Jean were the two rescued kitties up for adoption Friday night from Elgin County Cat Rescue. Cats from Art 4 Animals will be up for adoption Sunday.
Saturday there was no adoption but the store was offering prizes for those who donated.
Snow explained that people should come out and adopt,
“There’s so many of them that are in need of good homes…they just make a great addition to the house and I feel like everyone should own one”
Elgin County Cat rescues representative, Leah Power explained some of the precautions they take with adoption events like this,
“We have our adoption form so we have peoples contact information; most people already have kitties or have experience with them. Generally when pet value advertises an adoption event its someone looking to add a family member, and we always do follow ups with them to make sure everything’s going okay and the cats are integrating okay”
She then went onto add,
‘The cats are fixed and vetted and there is an adoption fee with them…we’re 140 (Dollars) for our kitties. Which is another precaution usually people won’t pay 140 for a cat they don’t want.”
Cupcakes were sold in store for two dollars,
“Just something extra. Just to get more donations in for the rescues” Snow added.
Cat rescues have had a very busy few months with the mass amount of cats that have been found around London. People are encouraged to adopt a new companion in need of a home.
What’s the harm in going out and maybe make a new furend.
