Adopt a cat during PetSmart Charities of Canada National Adoption Week, July 15-21
July 12, 2024 – Collingwood, ON — It’s kitten season, when scores of vulnerable kittens and cats are flooding into already full shelters, looking for people to love. The Georgian Triangle Humane Society (GTHS) is proud to partner with PetSmart Charities of Canada® to bring adoptable kittens to PetSmart Owen Sound in support of the 25th Anniversary National Adoption Week, taking place July 15 – 21, 2024.
PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week in July coincides with kitten season, referring to the annual boom of kittens following peak breeding season for cats. Kittens are particularly vulnerable, and many shelters work overtime to meet their needs for care and feeding. During the in-store event, the GTHS invites all pet lovers to come by and meet adoptable pets and spread the word in support of finding families for as many pets as possible during July National Adoption Week.
During National Adoption Week, potential pet parents can interact with adoptable pets from local animal welfare organizations at PetSmart stores across the country. With staff and volunteers on hand to help potential adopters, visitors can spend time with the cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies available.
“Partnering with PetSmart Charities for offsite adoption events during National Adoption Week has been an incredible asset for the GTHS,” explains Karen Marsh, executive director of the GTHS. “These events not only provide a wonderful opportunity for our animals to find loving homes but also allow us to reach a broader audience furthering our mission to support the well-being of pets. The visibility and resources gained through this partnership have significantly enhanced our ability to rescue and rehome pets, ensuring they receive the care and love they deserve.”
To view all available kittens for adoption, please visit gths.ca/cats-for-adoption/ and look for the cats marked with the PetSmart location.
“For 25 years now, PetSmart Charities of Canada and local partners have been helping pets find people to love,” said Heidi Marston, director of Pet Placement Initiatives at PetSmart Charities of Canada. “Shelters across the country are full, and pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments are looking for their families. This National Adoption Week, we are putting a special focus on our feline friends with scores of kittens entering shelters & rescues in need of adoption – and we can’t do it without your support. If you have room in your heart and home, please consider adopting or fostering!”
