Successful Cat Adoption Campaign Extended

MONROE — The Animal Center will again team up with Paws on Main for an adoption day on Saturday, August 6, following a successful series of adoption events in June that led to more than a dozen adoptions of homeless kittens and cats.

The Animal Center is a recently formed Newtown-based charity focused on animal welfare. Its office is at 268 Main Street in Monroe, across from Señor Pancho’s restaurant.

The public is invited to visit The Animal Center to meet some of the its current residents – zany and loving kittens just waiting for a new home – on Saturday afternoon between noon and 2 pm.

The Animal Center provides rescue and adoption services to abandoned cats and kittens in Newtown. The more adoptions the center does, the more resources it has to devote to other local homeless cats and kittens.

According to Monica Roberto, co-founder of The Animal Center, “In just a few months, we’ve helped more than 50 homeless cats in our community. There are many more orphaned animals out there who desperately need our assistance, however.”

Adopting from the center offers a number of benefits included in the adoption fee: spay/neuter, vaccines, deworming and testing for certain infectious diseases. Also, the center’s locally-based team is on hand after an adoption to answer questions “new parents” may have about their cat after the adoption.  

More information, and a look at some of the cats and kittens currently available, at The Animal Center can be found online at www.TheAnimalCenter.org or by calling 313-4814.
