June is National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, and two Beaumont-Wilshire stores will make it their business to help felines and their families.
Green Dog Pet Supply may have “dog” in the store’s name, but they are our neighborhood’s local resource for quality cat supplies, too. In fact, the colorful and fun cat area is right inside the front door. Come see all the cat toys, food, and care items to spoil your family cat. Green Dog is located at 4327 NE Fremont Street, 503-528-1800.
Americana Frame will display framed photos of cats and kittens available for adoption at Cat Adoption Team (CAT). CAT is the Pacific Northwest’s largest feline-only shelter and has an excellent reputation for helping families find their “purrfect” cat. CAT’s highly trained adoption counselors are your resource for current and future questions. As in past years, we expect local families who adopt a featured cat to want that cat’s framed photograph from the shop’s window as a permanent treasure. Stop by, take a look, and fall in love! Americana Frame is located at 4223 NE Fremont Street, 503-281-2838.
Also, mark your calendars for the always popular CAT Kitten Palooza adoption event on Saturday, June 30, when more than 100 adorable kittens will be available for adoption to good homes. This event is not to be missed for its abundance of cuteness. The CAT shelter address is 14175 SW Galbreath Drive, Sherwood. More info is available at www.catadoptionteam.org.
And not to forget the dogs in BWNA—Portland’s biggest annual party for pets and people is the Oregon Humane Society’s Doggie Dash Fun Walk and Festival on Saturday, May 12, at Waterfront Park, SW Stark and Naito Parkway. More info is available at www.oregonhumane.org/doggiedash.
