ExtravaCATza Features Fabulous Felines for Adoption
 Fairfax County Animal Shelter Opens Four Sundays in July

            ExtravaCATza is back and better than ever for the month of July at the Fairfax County Animal Shelter. The fanCATstic cat and kitten adoption event will spotlight Fairfax County’s fabulous felines at the shelter located at 4500 West Ox Road in Fairfax.

            Families interested in adopting a cat or kitten are encouraged to drop by the shelter throughout the month of July to meet the wonderful animals that are available and looking for a loving new home. The first 100 cats adopted from the shelter during the month of July will receive a free spay or neuter; a potential savings of between $70 and $115 for adopters.

            As part of the ExtravaCATza, the shelter is partnering with area animal rescue organizations that will bring their cats and kittens available for adoption, to the shelter on Sundays in July. The adoption process and corresponding fees vary by group.

            The shelter will also be open its normal adoption hours throughout the month: Tuesdays – Fridays, 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The special Sunday adoption hours will be from 12 p.m. – 4 p.m. on July 6, 13, 20 and 27.
