SPCA lowers adoption fee for cats and kittens
The Roanoke Valley Chapter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has lowered its normal feline adoption fee of $50 to $35 through the summer. A seasonal surplus of cats and kittens has prompted the animal shelter to offer a discount so that more homeless cats and kittens may be adopted.
Roanoke County allows six cats per household. All but two must be altered. Roanoke does not require a license and allows four unaltered cats or six altered cats per household.
For more information on adopting cats, as well as dogs, call the SPCA, 344-4840.
