PAWS adoptions: Shelter lowers fee
Through Aug. 31, PAWS is lowering its adoption fee for all cats, six months and older, to $30. The price is a third of the normal fee, offered in hopes of relieving an overload of cats at the PAWS Lynnwood shelter.
The tough economic climate has increased the number of people asking PAWS to take in cats they can no longer afford to keep. PAWS is trying to accommodate those requests as much as possible, but when space is limited it is reserved for stray animals who need a place to wait for their families to find them.
Cats adopted from PAWS are spayed or neutered, microchipped, have had their first set of vaccines and come with a cat carrier.
