June is also Adopt-A-Cat Month, created to increase awareness of the millions of friendly, healthy pets looking for homes in our animal shelters and rescues.
Cat ownership is on the rise, and according to the American Pet Products Association, over 47 million U.S. households contain one or more felines. There’s many good reasons for this: most cats are affectionate and social, they tend to require less attention than dogs, can acclimate themselves to smaller living spaces, and frankly, most cats are beautiful to look at (just ask them).
So are you ready to find the purr-fect companion? Check out sleek Raven at the House of Dreams shelter, affectionate Hector at the Oregon Humane Society, or beautiful Iris at Animal Aid. And don’t forget: Northwest Neighborhood Veterinary offers a free first exam when you adopt a shelter pet!
