Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day – cats included! Thanks to the generosity of sponsors Mr. and Mrs. Shank, Humane Pennsylvania is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a special, reduced-fee cat adoption event. From Friday, March 17th to Sunday, March 19th, Humane Pennsylvania is giving community members the opportunity to adopt shelter cats for just $3.17 at the Berks and Lancaster County adoption centers.

Aida May, Humane Pennsylvania Shelter Manager, expresses her annual excitement for the St. Catty’s Day adoption event; “Year after year, the St. Catty’s Day adoption weekend has always brought some extra luck to the cats in our care who have been patiently waiting to find their forever families. We’re always very excited to help potential adopters find their perfect match!”

Adopters wishing to provide a loving home for shelter animals during this St. Catty’s Day event are encouraged to visit the shelter campuses or HumanePA.org. All potential adopters are required to go through Humane Pennsylvania’s adoption screening process (approval is not guaranteed).
