Gwinnett County Running 'Adopt a Shelter Cat Month' Special

Do you fancy felines?

Then this month is for you. June is National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, as designated by the American Humane Association.

Some 5 million to 7 million pets enter animal shelters nationwide every year, and approximately 3 million to 4 million are euthanized: Seventy percent of those are cats, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Creulty to Animals.

And, each spring thousands of kittens join the millions of cats already in shelters, but you can help.

Here, the Gwinnett Animal Welfare and Enforcement Center is running a special to help the felines find forever homes.

During the month of June, families can stop by the center and adopt a cat for $30, or two for $40. The fee includes spaying or neutering, first round of vaccinations, and a microchip.

Before you bring your new cat home, check this American Humane Society's checklist to make sure you've thought of everything.
