Pet Supplies Plus in Bloomfield Hills is losing sleep – literally -- over the fact that so many homeless cats and kittens in Oakland County need good homes.August 9 through 11, the store will stay open for 48 hours straight for The Cat’s Pajamas 200-cat adoption marathon taking place from 4 p.m., Friday, August 9 to 4 p.m., Sunday, August 11.
Families can choose from 200 cats and kittens of all shapes and sizes available for adoption from Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center in Auburn Hills.Adoption counselors will be on hand all 48 hours with the goal of finding homes for as many pets as possible.

All adopters get a free feline wellness exam courtesy of Ross Hospital for Animals in Bloomfield Hills and a chance to win a Pandora bracelet or Pandora lucky cat charm from Karagosian Master Jewelers in Sylvan Lake. 
Shoppers wearing their jammies during Midnight Madness – from midnight to 6 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights, will get 20 percent off their purchases (non-sale items). In addition, the store will pay their sales tax and they will be treated to free donuts.“
Oakland County has so many homeless pets so we are just trying to do our part to find them good homes,”said Addy Shattuck, owner of Pet Supplies Plus in Bloomfield Hills. “We are pleased to be working with Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center, and invite families to consider a new feline family member. We will have a huge selection of just about every type of cat imaginable.”
