This is a great time to adopt a shelter cat or two! Â The first wave of Kitten Season has already hit in a lot of places, which means shelters are filling up with kittens, leaving little or no room, especially for adult cats. Â Many rescue groups are waiving or reducing fees for adopting cats this month. Â When you adopt you save a life and make room for another cat to have a chance.
