Furkids Urgently Needs Fosters, Adopters Before Moving To Cumming

CUMMING, GA — Furkids is moving its cat shelter and headquarters, creating an urgent need for adopters and fosters for cats, animals that find it very difficult to be relocated. To encourage adoption and fostering, Furkids has partnered with the Petco Foundation, announcing Home Before the Holidays, their largest year-end adoption event ever, during this weekend’s National Adoption Weekend at select Furkids locations in Petco stores throughout the Atlanta area.

From 1-4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, Furkids will have cats and kittens available for adoption with special BOGO pricing for cat adoptions at Petco stores in Alpharetta, Buckhead, Holcomb Bridge Road/East Roswell, Sandy Springs, and Smyrna. Puppy and dog adoptions will be at locations in Buckhead and Sandy Springs.

Prospective adopters can visit https://furkids.org/cat-adoptions/ to search for the perfect cat or kitten for them, and prospective fosters can get more information about fostering at https://furkids.org/volunteer/foster-a-furkid/ or email terri@furkids.org.

Special BOGO pricing is good through Sunday:

• Kittens up to 6 months are $99 for one, or BOGO for two
• Cats 6 months - 10 years are $50 for one, or BOGO for two
• Seniors 10+, FeLV+, and FIV+ cats have no adoption fees

The adoption event will include a "Photos with Santa" event on Saturday, with proceeds going to help homeless animals.

“We’re inviting the community to join us at Petco to give a pet a loving home this holiday season,” said Samantha Shelton of Furkids. “Pets make life better and the holidays are a perfect time to celebrate the many ways pets brighten our lives by helping to save lives through adoption.”

Furkids Animal Rescue and Shelters is moving its Doraville cat shelter and headquarters to a larger campus in Cumming.
