Posh Pets Rescue to Host Cat Adoption Event in Greenburgh Aug. 15

Posh Pets Rescue in Greenburgh, in conjunction with the local Petsmart store, will host a “Clear the Shelters,” no-cost cat adoption event on Aug. 15, according to organizers.

Part of a national effort, which is being sponsored by WNBC4 and Telemundo, the Greenburgh event will take place at the Petsmart store, located at 369 Tarrytown Road, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Similar events scheduled for the same day in Rockland County, Briarcliff Manor, and Long Beach, NY, among others.

Posh Pets Rescue is an all volunteer-run animal rescue group that works to save animals from high kill shelters, and other life-threatening circumstances.

“It is our hope that with this event, Posh Pets Rescue will become a more well known, household name when people think of rescue groups,” said organizers in a statement. As many as 40 cats may be available for adoption Saturday at the Greenburgh event.

According to Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner, Hartsdale resident Courtney Massena is a Posh Pets Rescue volunteer who has been involved in organizing the Aug. 15 event. She also has been working on finding a new Westchester location for the Pets Alive facility that is scheduled to close this year.
