RSPCA Free Cat Adoption Weekend

Overview

This is your chance to nab the fluffy, fluffy friend you've always wanted — and give a teeny, unfortunate soul a shiny new life. With an extremely high population of rescue cats and kittens staying at the RSPCA Sydney Shelter in Yagoona or in foster care, the not-for-profit is making one huge attempt to find homes for them. For three days, the RSPCA is waiving all adoption fees for the little critters, trying to find a home for the 91 cats staying at the shelter and the 187 kittens in care. So, aside from landlords and allergies, you're running out of excuses not to meet the newest, cuddliest member of your family.

Along with the obvious cute, Instagrammable benefits, research has shown that cat ownership has many physical, mental, emotional and social rewards. According to the RSPCA, "Pet owners are generally healthier and happier than non-pet owners. They have lower blood pressure and cholesterol; are less depressed; feel less lonely than non-pet owners; and actually find it easier to get to know people."

The kittens will come desexed, microchipped, wormed and vaccinated, so its little snuggly self is all ready for the world. If cat ownership has been on your mind, it's never been easier to opt away from breeders and pet shops and give a homeless animal the life it deserves.
