Starting Friday and running through the rest of June, you can adopt a cat from the Humanne Society of Northeast Iowa for $9 during the special "9 Lives for $9," adoption promotion.
Go to the HSNEI website, www.hsnei.org , to see adoptable cats and adolescent kittens (age 9 months or older) which have been rescued by HSNEI. The "9 Lives for $9" promotion is being conducted across the United States, supported by the national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society, with additional funding from PetSmart Charities®.
Said HSNEI President Kim Powell, "Every day 9,000 animals are killed in shelters simply because they don't have homes. Just by adopting a cat or two, everyone can be part of the nationwide movement to end the killing of adoptable, treatable animals."
Cats can help you lower your risk of a heart attack, boost your immune system, reduce your blood pressure, and a whole host of other health benefits, too. Plus if laughter is the best medicine, cats can provide a daily dose with their antics or just snuggle up and let you know everything's going to be okay."
