Kitten adoption, pop-up shopping events planned for Saturday

Second Chance Animal Shelter at the Alpena County Animal Facility will hold a

kitten adopt-a-thon and shop for a cause event from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Kadrich Family Chiropractic building, 1015 US-23 North.

Animal Shelter officials recommend the kittens be adopted in pairs. One kitten can be adopted for $65 and two kittens can be adopted for $100. An additional, refundable spay or neuter deposit is required at the time of adoption.

The kittens have been socialized, received age appropriate vaccines, and received a feline leukemia test. A free spay or neuter certificate is provided courtesy of Switzer Veterinary Clinic and Sunrise Veterinary Services to be used once the kitten is old enough for surgery.
