Fee Waived Adoptions for Cats throughout June!

This June, Best Friends Animal Society is teaming up with Litter-Robot for Truth or Tales—a national campaign to bust common cat myths and help more felines find loving homes.

As part of the campaign, Litter-Robot is sponsoring all cat and kitten adoption fees at Best Friends Lifesaving centers all month long, making it easier than ever to welcome a cat into your home.

We’re also inviting animal lovers everywhere to join the #FelineFolkloreChallenge on social media by sharing photos or videos of cats defying myths. For every post using the hashtag, Litter-Robot will donate $1 to Best Friends, up to $10,000, to support cats in shelters.

Join us in separating truth from tales—and help more cats get home.

To meet a specific pet, please email adoptions@bestfriends.org to make an appointment.

Turn right (east) when you see the big Best Friends sign. It’s about a 1.5-mile drive to the Best Friends Welcome Center (on your left). Just come on in and one of our friendly ambassadors can help you sign up for a tour or meet adoptable pets!
