Have you been day dreaming about finding a feline companion for yourself, a friend, family member, or your current pet? Then now is the time to visit the Animal Rescue League of Boston to meet your purr-fect match!

During the final full week of Adopt-a-Cat Month, June 21-29, our partners Bob the Street Cat and Scotties Facial Tissue will cover the adoption fees on select adult cats at our shelters in Boston, Brewster, and Dedham:

With so many kittens available at this time of year, adult cats like Daisey (pictured right) often have a longer wait at animal shelters before they find a home.

In fact, the American Humane Association established National Adopt-a-Cat Month 1975 to help bring awareness to the large number of cats and kittens coming into shelters in the spring and summer, and to promote adult cat adoptions.

A quick word about our sponsors….

Bob the Street Cat is the real-life central character in the best-selling two-book series by James Bowen.

Bowen, a street musician and recovering drug addict, found the injured and sickly ginger cat curled up in the hallway of his apartment building. He discovered nursing the injured cat back to good health and keeping him as a companion gave his life meaning and purpose—and inspired the continuing series of books.

To celebrate the release of the second book in the series, The World According to Bob, Bob the Street Cat will sponsor adoptions at shelters in other cities across the country, including ours.

He also will give everyone who adopts at cat on June 21 at our shelters a free set of “his” books, while supplies last!

Scotties Facial Tissue will give a $5,000 donation to the ARL to encourage families to add some softness to their home by adopting a cat June 22-29.

“Our goal for this partnership is to help a great organization do what they do best – finding good homes for these loving animals,” said John Robertson, director of marketing for Scotties Facial Tissues. “We hope that our donation will act as an incentive for caring people to come forward and open up their homes.”

Thank you to Bob the Street Cat and Scotties for encouraging the public to adopt from animal shelters and helping find more cats safe and loving homes!
