Two Cats are Better Than One

Summer is kitten season, when OHS can receive as many as 200 kittens a week. Come visit our fabulous felines and you may just find your fur-ever friend! Remember, two cats are better than one. We make it easy with these special offers for adopting a second adult cat or kitten.

 

 

 

  • Adopt an adult cat, and the second cat is free

 

  • When you take home TWO kittens,
    you save 50% on the second kitten

    (kittens are 6 months and younger)

 

 

 

Why Adopt Two Cats?

 

Cats make wonderful pets. And studies have found that adopting two cats has many benefits:

 

  • Cats who have a playmate tend to be more socially well-adjusted and avoid behavior problems like shyness, biting, hissing, being frightened and hiding in the company of people they don't know.
  • If you must work long hours or travel for a couple of days, two or more cats keep each other company and are more tranquil during your absence.
  • Your cat will remain more playful and youthful into his/her later years with a companion.
  • The workload to care for two cats is about the same as it is for one cat.

 

Can't adopt? Here are five ways you can help shelter cats:

 

  1. Bring a Friend to the Shelter and Help them Adopt
    You may have a cat yourself, but what about that friend who has been thinking about adopting? We're open every day of the week with extended hours Thurs. - Sat. for you to visit with furry felines. Come see us today!
  2. Be a Foster Parent
    You'll get a heaping helping of love when you become a foster volunteer. We're in urgent need of foster caregivers for animals with medical conditions.
  3. Sponsor a "Nine Lives" Cat
    There's no time limit on how long pets stay at OHS, which means we always  have a handful of long timers. Raylah is one of our "Nine Lives" cats who has been here the longest. Your sponsorship will help OHS us continue to care for Raylah and her fellow felines.
  4. Pass Along a Spay/Neuter Coupon
    Do you know someone with a cat who has not been fixed? If so, give them a discount coupon to spay/neuter their pet and help end pet overpopulation. Other low-cost options available for low-income residents.
  5. Bring a Present to a Shelter Cat
    There are several items needed to help keep our cats happy and healthy. From food, to litter to toys, you can find a special item on our wish list and bring it to the shelter to brighten our cats day.
