TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The Hermitage No-Kill Cat Shelter & Sanctuary has rescued over 100 kittens this spring and summer.
Now they're gearing up for their annual 'Kitten Monsoon,' with summer adoption specials and events running through the month of July.
It's all to meet their goal of facilitating 100 adoptions this summer.
- 1 Kitten – $115
- Dynamic Duo (2 Kittens) – $100
- 1 Adult Cat – $50
- Hero and Sidekick (1 Kitten + 1 Adult) – $150
- All Special Needs Cats and Seniors – $25
Walk-ins are welcome at The Hermitage during business hours, and the specials are avialable until July 30. Staff recommends applying in advance and obtaining pre-approval in order to move the adoption process along more quickly.
The 'Kitten Shower Kick-off Party' takes place this weekend on Saturday, July 9, rain or shine.
All kittens will be spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and treated to prevent parasites before they are available for adoption.
