Fees waived to adopt cats<br />
through Saturday<br />
<strong>The</strong> “cat room” at SCRAPS is overflowing<br />
again after a recent influx of cats and<br />
kittens into the shelter, leading the agency<br />
to waive adoption fees through Saturday.<br />
“You can tell that many of these cats<br />
and kittens are used to being in a home —<br />
which is so unfortunate for them because<br />
their owners aren’t coming in to claim<br />
them,” SCRAPS Director Nancy Hill said.<br />
“If these cats had some type of identification<br />
— like a license — we would gladly<br />
return them to their homes.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> percentage of cats redeemed by<br />
their owner in Spokane County is only<br />
3 percent as compared to dog redemptions,<br />
which are 37 percent, according to a<br />
SCRAPS press release.<br />
Through Saturday, all cat and kitten<br />
adoptions are $15, or the price of a license.<br />
For more information or to adopt, contact<br />
SCRAPS at 477-2532 or www.spokanecounty.org/scraps<br />
or visit the shelter at<br />
2521 N. Flora Road in Spokane Valley.<br />
