Adoption Center News: December 17-23, 2012 (Richmond SPCA Blog)

This week we had 155 amazing adoptions in our adoption center and at three special "Pupcracker" performances of The Nutcracker in partnership with the Richmond Ballet! We're happy to report that 83 dogs and 72 cats found great homes. Since December 1, we have placed 434 pets! Our goal for the upcoming week is 145 adoptions. You can help spread the word about our available pets by 'liking' and sharing our social media posts:

Featured feline: Mona

Mona

Mona is social, sweet and outgoing. Since we took her into our care in July she has spent most of her time purring, chirping or meowing for attention. She's an inquisitive cat enjoys busying herself with checking out every nook-n-cranny. She'd actually rather be petted than play with toys, and is happy to be held. Mona would be the perfect addition to your home and would always greet you at the door to welcome you home! If you'd like to learn more about this sweet, curious girl, please contact our adoption department.

Featured feline follow-up

Last week's featured feline, Hannah, is still available for adoption, so please contact our adoption department if you are interested in adopting her!
