Some Cool Cats Getting Raiders' Help in Finding a Home

Adopting a cat has become easier and less costly through most of the rest of October, thanks to Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation and the Oakland Raiders

Football season is under way, and the Oakland Raiders once again are tackling pet homelessness with their sponsorship of Raider Nation Cat Celebration. Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation will waive adoption fees on all adult cats (six months and older) from Oct. 1-24, thanks to the generosity of the Oakland Raiders.

As ARF says, "Whether you're scouting your next draft pick, or just putting together a feline fantasy league, visit ARF to see all the cats available for adoption."

All of ARF's standard adoption criteria apply.
