Humane Society offers two-for-one

The Humane Society of Ventura County has created a new program for people looking to adopt a cat or kitten during June. Whenever a cat or kitten is adopted, the Shelter in Ojai will "double" the offer by giving a second cat or kitten for free, including all vaccinations plus spay or neutering.

"Cats are very friendly in groups, especially two kittens from the same litter," said Jolene Hoffman, shelter director. "In June we see many kittens given away due to overbreeding. This way someone can have two wonderful pets and the animals receive a loving home."

Out of the millions of cats who enter shelters each year, only about one in four are adopted into loving homes. More than 70 percent of the cats must be euthanized if left at public shelters. The Humane Society of Ventura County is a no-kill shelter and finds home for all its animals.

Two kittens or cats will be available for adoption to the public for $95. All animals can be seen or adopted Monday through Saturday at the shelter, 402 Bryant St., Ojai.
