Cat Adoption Event: First 50 Cats Adopted are Free

For a limited time only, Pets Alive Westchester (formerly the Elmsford Animal Shelter) will waive all adoption fees for cats.

Love Fur-Ever – Free.  Pets Alive Westchester is hosting the “Free Cat Adoption Event” to highlight the many different breeds of cats.  Whether you are a first time pet owner, or looking for a friend for your cat, now is the perfect time to adopt.

All cats adopted from Pets Alive Westchester are spayed/neutered, up to date on shots and micro chipped.

Although the adoption fee is waived, Pets Alive Westchester has not changed the adoption screening process.  “We make a promise to all of the animals at Pets Alive Westchester-a promise for life.  And that doesn’t end when they find a new home. We find them the best possible home-one that will last a lifetime” says Executive Director Joy Sarnelli Carson.

If you would like to help the cats but cannot adopt, please consider becoming a monthly cat sponsor or a volunteer.

About Pets Alive Westchester:   

Pets Alive Westchester is the largest no kill animal rescue center in Westchester County NY. In June of 2010 Pets Alive Westchester took over the failing Elmsford Animal Shelter and is on a rescue mission to save all 550 animals in its care. Pets Alive Westchester is part of the Pets Alive organization.  

Pets Alive is one of the oldest and largest no kill organizations in the United States saving over 2,000 animals each year. Pets Alive is internationally recognized as a leader in developing alliances to end the killing of and promote the humane treatment of companion animals. The mission of Pets Alive is to improve the lives of companion animals everywhere by any means possible, including rescue, adoption, advocacy, collaboration, intervention and education.  

Pets Alive operates two locations in N.Y.  Pets Alive Animal Sanctuary, now in its 30th year, is located on 80 acres in Middletown, NY.  Pets Alive Westchester (formerly the Elmsford Animal Shelter) is located in Elmsford, NY and is the largest no kill animal rescue center in Westchester County. In late 2011, Pets Alive will open a sanctuary and bed and breakfast rescue retreat in Puerto Rico to eradicate the abuse and neglect of companion animals in Puerto Rico.

Pets Alive Westchester is a 501(c) 3 non-profit charity operating solely on individual donations, receiving no funding from city or state. Generous support from Pets Alive members makes possible all that we do.
