Are you looking for a special friend? If so, there are lots of reasons to adopt a mature cat. The joys of owning a senior pet are often overlooked as tiny kittens or jumping puppies usually grab everyone's attention at the shelter. But keep in mind that the companionship of a quiet, older pet can be 
very satisfying.
Adult cats have their destructive kitten years behind them and are calm companions for children and seniors. With a lifespan of 15 to 20 or more years they will be a cherished member of your family for a long time. And, best of all, you will truly be saving a valued life!
Please consider giving one of our seniors (or any of our other cats) a loving home. Any adult cat one year or older can be adopted for only $50!
The cats at our shelter have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and are already house trained.
Upcoming Petco adoption days:
Saturdays from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Sundays from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Petco is located at 825 Brevard Road in Asheville (across from the Biltmore Square Mall).
The volunteers can't transport all of animals to the adoption event every week, so if you see a pet on the Furever Friends website that you'd like to meet, let us know. Just call (828)-670-6723 or email fureverfriends@att.net ahead of time to make sure that your potential pal will be there.
