Bissell Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters

Oct 07, 2024 01:31PM ● By FieldHaven Feline Center News Release

LINCOLN, CA (MPG) - Bissell Pet Foundation is hosting its Empty the Shelters event through Oct. 15, and thanks to their support, FieldHaven Feline Center is waiving adoption fees for all cats and kittens! 

Wait! That’s not all! This weekend, they’re having a big *pop-up* kitten adoption event at the shelter!

Why? Because they have kittens upon kittens in foster who are waiting to go home with YOU!

It’s all part of Bissell Pet Foundation, a national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending pet homelessness, and their Fall National “Empty the Shelters” from Oct. 1 through Oct. 15.

“We’re proud to be a partner with Bissell Pet Foundation. Together, our impact is greater, and we gain the ability to share what we do with even more people,” said Joy Smith, founder of FieldHaven Feline Center

"Our nation’s animal shelters are facing an overcrowding crisis unlike anything we have experienced in more than a decade. The devastating increase in owner surrenders and stray intakes has left tens of thousands of socialized, house-trained, and leash-trained pets desperate to find a home," said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. "Empty the Shelters supports the adoption of thousands of pets across the country, helping shelters in this critical time. Opening your home to a shelter pet saves a life and creates space to give another pet a chance."
