'Catoberfest' In Dublin: Adoption Fees Cut, Reduced At EB SPCA

The East Bay SPCA is running a special on cat and kitten adoptions through Oct. 6.

EAST BAY, CA — Kitten season is still going strong at the East Bay SPCA, which means lots of felines looking for forever homes. To promote adoptions, the East Bay SPCA is waiving adoption fees for adult cats and the organization is reducing kitten adoption fees for five days, starting Oct. 2 and running through Oct. 6.

"Even though the weather is starting to turn, our kitten season is still in full effect," said Karalyn Aronow, East Bay SPCA vice president of operations. "In this month alone, we have taken in 181 kittens. While some of these kitties are still in foster, others have been fully vaccinated and altered and are available for adoption.

"One of the challenges with having so many adorable kittens available is that our older cats are often overlooked by potential adopters," Aronow continued. "Even though we have many amazing adult cats looking for forever homes, they still have a harder time getting adopted during kitten season."
