During this time of the year we have new kittens almost every week. We sometimes have as many as 15-20 kittens available. And some weeks we may only have 10 to 12 people who decide to adopt. And that is absolutely fine. We want people to make a choice that feels right. But if a kitten is not adopted for a week or two, either because it didn’t show well or it was a weird week for kitten adoptions or because it couldn’t come in during adoption hours for some reason, it is then competing for adopters with much smaller kittens. And if it isn’t adopted that week or the next…. Well, you see where this is going. Benny (pictured here) is a perfect example of an older kitten who is absolutely sweet and adorable (and good with dogs and cats) but who keeps getting passed over week after week.  And each week Benny (and other kittens like him) is a little older and a little bigger than the other kittens. So what do you do about that? It isn’t a tragedy. We know that lots of people like to adopt cats. We know that all of our kittens will eventually find their people. But we would like to have that happen sooner rather than later. Both for their sakes, and because when our foster homes are full we can’t take in more kittens. So we have decided that we will have an extra day of kitten adoptions this Sunday September 28, from 3-6. We don’t know which kittens will be there because some of the kittens will likely get adopted on Saturday during regular adoption hours. But there will be kittens. And because we want to make this as easy as possible for potential adopters, there won’t be any need to make an appointment although you will have to have an approved application. We have been calling this special adoption event Kitten Chaos. And it likely will be! Our adult cat only special adoption event was very popular and led to quite a few adoptions. We are keeping our paws crossed that this will do the same. So if Saturdays are hard for you, or you haven’t been able to get an appointment, you are looking for a kitten, and you have an approved application, you can just come in between three and six on Sunday. If you don’t have an approved application, but would like to come in this is your sign to fill out the application on our website (link in comments) and get approved. We have lots of wonderful kittens like Benny who can’t wait to meet you! (fb)
