With an overpopulation of cats at the Dearborn Animal Shelter, the Friends for the Dearborn Animal Shelter are hosting a “cat adoption express” Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 2621 S. Telegraph road in Dearborn, next to Pet Supplies Plus.

“The purpose of this adoption event is to quickly find new homes for the overpopulation of cats in the care of our Shelter” says Elaine Greene, the shelter’s executive director. “Due to two critical hoarding cases this summer and a slower rate of cat adoptions, the Dearborn Animal Shelter is in immediate need of placing felines into homes.”

Reduced adoption fees for the felines are as follows: kittens (less than 4 months) $45 each, cats (4 months and older) $20 each and any second cat or kitten adopted is free. Adoption fees include sterilization, microchip and first set of vaccinations.

“We hope this will expedite cat adoptions,” Greene said. “The Dearborn Animal Shelter training center (2621 S. Telegraph) is easier to access, this event will feature only cats and kittens and rates are reduced for quicker adoption.”
