Clear the Shelters 2016

Hi, all! Today is Clear the Shelters 2016, the day we all work together to help shelter animals find new forever homes. Pets make life better. We are excellent companions, and we're good for your health too. If you don't have a pet, we encourage you to take some time today to visit a shelter near you. You might just find a new best friend! And when you think "pet," don't think only "dog" or "cat." There are lots of rabbits, guinea pigs, even reptiles that need loving homes.

Of course, we here at Cuddlywumps Cat Chronicles are partial to cats, and senior cats in particular, and we live in the Washington, DC, region...so we offer the following three mature cats to whet your appetite for adoption. All of these cats are at the Washington Humane Society's Oglethorpe Street location.

Boogie is an 8-year-old male who has been in the
shelter for a while and would really like to go to a
nice home. Maybe yours?

Roxanne is an 8-year-old female who has such
lovely coloring. See her page here.

Smush is a 9-year-old black and white female.
Isn't she a beauty?

Meet these and other great pets at Washington Humane Society's Adoption Center located at 71 Oglethorpe Street, NW Washington, DC 20011. The event's hours are 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
