Adopt a Black Cat Friday after Thanksgiving

Portage Animal Protective League discounts adoption fees for "Black Cat" Friday

On Friday Nov. 23, and Saturday Nov. 24, the Portage APL will discount their adoption fees on black cats.

Kitten, adult and senior cat adoption fees on black cats will only be $10 (for qualified adopters) at the Portage Animal Protective League. Regular fees are $50.

“Other businesses have huge sales on Black Friday and so many folks are out shopping," said Bev Bickley, Shelter Manager. "We thought, 'why not?' Black cats are adopted less often than other colors and we have almost 20 that are great, great cats. People may have off work for a few more days than usual and be able to spend that extra time with a new family member.

Portage APL is hoping to increase adoptions and find loving homes for as many cats as possible this holiday season.

Portage APL is a private, non-profit organization and relies on the generosity and kindness of individuals and businesses to make our community a safer place for thousands of animals who have no voice. We continue to rescue animals every day and the need is constant. Please give a needy animal a loving place to call home!

For more information, please call the Portage APL at 330.296.4022.
