Submitted by Paws for Life Animal Rescue:

Did you know there are more than nine reasons you might be healthier when sharing your life with cats, or that for $9 you can become part of a nationwide life-saving movement?  

Adopt a feline friend from Paws for Life Rescue, www.pawsforliferescue.org, during the special “9 Lives for $9”adoption event, running from June 21 to June 30, and you become part of something important. 

Shelters and rescues across the country and the state of Michigan are participating in the '9 Lives for $9' cat adoption campaign. To find other participating organizations, visit 9lives.bestfriends.org.

To adopt a cat for just $9, apply online at www.pawsforliferescue.org between June 21 and June 30, and/or come meet the adoptable cats and adolescent kittens (age 9 months or older) rescued by Paws for Life on June 30 from noon to 4 p.m. at Petco, 4820 S. Baldwin Rd, Lake Orion/Auburn Hills. This event is part of the “9 Lives for $9” promotion from June 21 to June 30 across the United States, supported by national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society. 

“For 10 days in June we are making it so easy for people to meet our fabulous felines who are ready to go home with you. And for just $9, you can save a cat who could end up saving you**,” said Courtney Protz-Sanders, executive director and spokesperson for Paws for Life. “Every day, 9,000 animals are killed in shelters simply because they don’t have homes. Just by adopting a cat or two, everyone can be part of the nationwide movement to end the killing of adoptable, treatable animals. 

“When you perform the lifesaving act of adopting cats, your life is better too,” added Protz-Sanders. “You are bringing purring balls of love into your home that can help you lower your risk of a heart attack, boost your immune system, reduce your blood pressure and a whole host of other health benefits, too. Plus, if laughter is the best medicine, cats can provide a daily dose with their antics or just snuggle up and let you know everything’s going to be okay.” 

This adoption event is part of Best Friends Animal Society’s national mission of No More Homeless Pets®, which aims to end the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters. Paws for Life is a participating member of the No More Homeless Pets® Network, a program of Best Friends Animal Society that offers help and support to animal rescue groups that save lives in their communities.
