If you’ve been waiting for the purrfect time to pick up a new pal, wait no more. Tomorrow, the Cleveland Animal Protective league is offering up Dollar Cat Day (Yes, it’s a play off of Progressive Field’s long-standing Dollar Dog Night). 

Friday only, folks can take home an adult cat over one year of age for just a buck, while kittens will be available for just $10 (Regularly adults cats run $45 and kittens are $95).

All adoptable cats from the APL have been spayed-neutered, tested for heartworm or FeLV/FIV and have received worm and flea vaccinations. Also included is a free initial veterinary exam and eligibility for 30-45 days of free ShelterCare pet health insurance. 

Browse all adoptable pets at clevelandapl.org, then head over to the Cleveland APL tomorrow — they’re open late, until 8 p.m.

  1. I hope all the new kittah owners have as much joy from their new pet as my Bella gives me.

  2. I would have gladly traded a dollar bill for a kitteh. Had to put one of my boy kittehs (the one that’s my avatar) to sleep in May, after 15 years with him…no kitteh ever loved me as much as he did.

    Still have two…one is 12 and one is 19 and nearly blind, so a new kitteh on dollar kitteh day would have upset her routine–and she would NOT be a happeh kitteh.

    One day, she too will pass on and then it will be time for a couple of new kittehs…hopefully a bonded pair…two adults who have lived together. There are more kittehs out there who need homes than there are homes who want kittehs.

    All my kittehs have been rescued or found or came from shelters. Only paid for a kitteh once…the very first one. I answered a classified ad for free kittens. Called for directions from a pay phone and that made him a “ten-cent kitteh”…both of which tell you how long ago THAT was (1972)…
