Adopt a Shelter Cat Month

Before June comes to an end, I want to remind everyone that this is National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month. If you're thinking of adding a special feline friend to your family, consider adopting a cat from a shelter.

This time of year, shelters are usually brimming with kittens. Who doesn't love kittens? Just look at this little guy waiting for his forever home at the shops on Fourth Street in Berekley, Calif., on Saturday.

But don't overlook older cats. They're generally already litter box trained, they're calmer and less likely to claw furniture than kittens, and they're full of love!

To find a shelter near you, visit the ASPCA's website.
