The estimated population of homeless cats in the United States (70 million) is almost equal to the number of owned cats (75 million).
With hundreds of cats in every shape, size, age, color, and personality at the TCSPCA, there’s never been a better time to save a life and adopt a shelter cat. According to The Berlin Longevity Institute, cats can add as much as 10 years to their owners’ lives. Picking up a cat has a nearly instantaneous calming effect on humans, causing blood pressure to drop and the heart rate to slow.
Check out the TCSPCA’s adoptable cats on the web at www.SPCAonline.com or visit them in person at the Dorothy & Roy Park Pet Adoption Center, seven days a week from noon to 5:30pm.
