Kitty Palooza planned for Saturday

More than 50 kittens and cats will be available for adoption at Columbus Animal Care Services’ Kitty Palooza on Saturday.

The adoption event will be held from noon to 4 p.m. in the former Petals and Vine location inside NexusPark, department officials said. Attendees should use the entrance near Riviera Maya and Dunham’s.

All cats will have a reduced adoption fee of $40, which includes spaying or neutering, ensuring the cat is up to date on its shots, and microchipping prior to adoption. The shelter’s normal adoption fee for cats is $80.

Interested adopters who rent are encouraged to bring renter’s agreements or contracts indicating that they are allowed pets, if a landlord is unable to be reached for confirmation.

Animal Care Services also asks those who are likely to adopt to bring a cat carrier, as cardboard carriers may be limited. Personal pets are not permitted at the adoption event.
