Let the cat distribution system work its magic Saturday, June 20, at Kitties For Keeps' adoption event/supply drive at the Oak Lawn Petco.
OAK LAWN, IL—Say yes to the kitty this Saturday, June 20, at the Kitties For Keeps Rescue adoption event and donation drive. The event goes from 1 to 4 p.m. at Petco, 6220 W. 95th St., Oak Lawn.
Kitten season, that notorious time of year when outdoor and abandoned cats start having babies by the dozen, is in full swing. Shelters are already crammed with kittens. Kitties for Keeps is a non-profit, no-kill, volunteer, foster-based cat rescue. The Chicago Ridge rescue group is dedicated to rescuing friendly, adoptable cats (old or young) that are left homeless, in danger of euthanasia, or victims of abuse or neglect.
Come meet Maeve, Figgy, Winnie, Willow, Olive and other felines, and let the cat distribution system work its magic.

Kitties for Keeps turns rescues into loving and adoptable pets. Cats in their care are spayed/neutered, receive appropriate vet care and treatment, and are shown love in their foster homes. After a strict adoption process, they are adopted into well-chosen forever homes.
In addition to kitty visits and adoptions, Kitties for Keeps is accepting donations of kitten food, clumping litter, kitty toys (they love the springs) and monetary donations to help with medical needs.
