ARL Announces Reduced Adoption Fee Event to Address Critical Capacity

ARL Announces Reduced Adoption Fee Event to Address Critical Capacity

by Animal Rescue League of Berks County

The Animal Rescue League of Berks County (ARL) announced a reduced adoption fee event starting on Wednesday, May 22, to respond to the high volume of cats currently at the shelter. For this special adoption event, all cats over six months of age will have their adoption fee reduced to $10 until capacity levels stabilize.

All adopters must go through the ARL’s regular procedures to adopt, including the completion of an adoption profile and speaking with an adoption counselor to ensure that the pet they select is a good match for their home, family, and lifestyle.

Adopters are encouraged to bring their family members to meet their new pet at the time of adoption. Adopters will also want to bring a cat carrier (or they can purchase one from the ARL for $5.).

The ARL is open Monday through Friday from 1-6 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 12-5 p.m. No appointments are necessary. The shelter will be closed on Monday, May 27, for Memorial Day.
