MCHENRY COUNTY, IL — The McHenry County Animal Control will host “Thankful for a Home” adoption events on Wednesday, November 17, and Saturday, November 20, to help connect potential adopters with cats and kittens that are looking for homes before the holidays.
To celebrate the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, MCAC is having a “pick your price” special for adult cats and kittens 5 months and older. Adopters who draw their price from the cornucopia can receive up to 50 percent off on adoption fees, according to a news release.
The MCAC will be hosting meet and greets with its available kittens from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 17 and from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 20. Meet and greets are by appointment only. Adopters must fill out an adoption form and be approved to schedule an appointment, according to a news release.

During these events, adopters will be able to meet all currently available cats and kittens. MCAC staff will be available to help match adopters with the right kitten for them and answer questions about kitten care and pet ownership, according to a news release.
