Furry Friends: Dumb Friends League extends waived adoption fees for felines until Sept. 5

“Wag’N” Donates pet masks

Carol Monaco, with Marketwise Insights, Inc., recently nominated Greater Brighton Fire to receive pet oxygen masks through a company called Wag’N. Brighton Fire was selected and Wag’N has donated pet O2 masks through a program called “O2 Fur Life” that provides the necessary equipment for pet rescue breathing. Greater Brighton Fire is one of only 14 fire departments in the State who have received pet O2 masks through this program. Five kits were donated through the program, which provides for one set of three masks for each of our five fire stations. Each kit contains three masks of different sizes for various size pets. The kits have been placed on the fire engines and crews have been trained in using the masks. Thank you to Carol and Wag’N for the generous donation.

The Dumb Friends League will extend its no-cost adoption promotion for felines through Sunday, Sept. 5. Adoption fees are waived for all cats and kittens at both shelter locations.

The League began waiving feline adoption fees on July 28 due to a cat crisis. Since then, the region’s largest animal welfare organization has adopted more than 1,136 felines. There are still more than 460 cats and kittens in the League’s care at this time.

Feline adoption fees typically range from $55 to $115 and include the following: spay/neuter surgery, initial vaccinations, microchip ID implant and registration, a 15-day healthcare program and a free office visit with a participating veterinarian. The League spends approximately $300 for each homeless cat, including shelter, food and medical care.

Interested adopters are encouraged to learn more about the adoption special and view adoptable pets online at ddfl.org or call (303) 751-5772 for more information.
