Dakin Offers $5 Adoption Rate for Select Adult Cats on Oct. 3

SPRINGFIELD — Dakin Humane Society will reduce adoption fees to $5 for select adult cats six months or older this Saturday, Oct. 3, at both its Springfield and Leverett adoption centers from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. The cats selected are those who have been waiting for adoption for several weeks.

According to Executive Director Leslie Harris, “as our busiest summer season winds to a close, we still have a large number of cats looking for their next families. We’re holding this adoption event to give these terrific adult cats some attention and opportunities to find new homes.”

Other animals available at Dakin include dogs, kittens, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, ferrets, rats, and mice. A full listing of adoptable animals is available at www.dakinhumane.org.

Dakin Humane Society delivers services that improve the lives of animals in need and the people who care about them from its two locations in Springfield and Leverett. The organization shelters, treats, and fosters more than 20,000 animals each year and has performed more than 62,000 spay/neuter surgeries since 2009. Dakin is a local nonprofit organization that relies solely on contributions from individuals and businesses that care about animals to bring its services to the community.
