Adopt a feline friend from FAWG during the special "9 Lives for $9" adoption promotion and you become part of something important!

Every day, 9,000 animals are killed in US shelters simply because they don't have homes. By adopting a cat or two, you can be part of the nationwide movement to end the killing of adoptable, treatable animals.

When you perform the lifesaving act of adopting cats, your life is better too. You are bringing purring balls of love into your home that can help you lower your risk of a heart attack, boost your immune system, reduce your blood pressure, and a whole host of other health benefits, too**

To meet our cats and kittens, join us Saturday, June 22, from 10 am to 3 pm at Maggie's Playhouse, 2000 Auction Rd. in Fallon.

"9 Lives for $9" is supported by national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society. This adoption promotion is part of Best Friends' national mission of No More Homeless Pets which aims to end the killing of dogs and cats in America's shelters. FAWG is a participating member of Best Friends' No More Homeless Pets Network.
