Adoption Fees For Pocket Pets Waived At SPCA Tampa Bay

LARGO, FL — SPCA Tampa Bay, 9099 130th Ave. N, Largo, will waive adoption fees during its Pocket Pet Palooza Friday, May 6 through Sunday, May 15, for certain pocket pets.

The majority of pocket pets like small birds, rabbits and guinea pigs can be adopted without a fee from the SPCA Tampa Bay.

More than 40 pocket pets that are furry, fluffy or bouncy are awaiting a loving home.

This Pocket Pet Palooza offer excludes farm animals (livestock), reptiles and large (bird) avian breeds.

View adoptable pocket pets at spcatampabay.org/pocket-pets or visit the shelter in Largo.

Potential adopters are encouraged to come early to the shelter and bring a carrier or housing that's appropriate for the new pet.

SPCA Tampa Bay's staff and volunteers can assist families in finding a pet that's right for their family's lifestyle. The adoption team focuses on matching families and pets for long-term success.

Past fee-waived adoption events have helped animals find new homes in only a few days, which frees resources for SPCA Tampa Bay to provide care and shelter for other homeless pets.

SPCA Tampa Bay cares for more than 7,000 animals each year, including wildlife.
