Celebrate Valentine’s Day this year by falling in love with a pet and saving a life by adopting from local rescue groups at the New Tampa PetsMart located at 6248 Commerce Palms Blvd., Tampa, FL during the PetSmart Charities National Adoption Weekend, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014.
PetSmart Charities Partner Cat Crusaders and several animal rescue groups, including Florida Cocker Spaniel Rescue, PetPals, Guardian Angels, and Florida All Retriever Rescue, will feature kittens, cats, puppies and dogs for adoption.
Special Adoption Fees Saturday Only
Cat Crusaders will feature special kitten and cat adoption fees for this day only--$35 for an adult cat, $60 for a kitten and $80 for two kittens. All cats and kittens are current on their vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped.
You Can Make a Difference
Nearly 8 million pets end up in U.S. shelters every year, and half – about 11,000 every day – are euthanized. PetSmart Charities’ programs, including National Adoption Weekend, are made possible through donations. Just $25 saves the life of a healthy, adoptable pet and funds programs that give these pets a second chance. If you’re not able to adopt a pet, you can support PetSmart Charities by making a donation online, by email at gifts@petsmartcharities.org or via phone at 1-800-745-9460.
PetSmart Charities will also reward all participating local adoption partners, including Cat Crusaders; each will receive $35 in adoption-reward grants for every pet adopted during the event. National Adoption Weekends are sponsored by PetSmart, Purina® Pro Plan® and Tidy Cats®.
