Purrfect Day Cat Cafe Covington is so much more than a cafe. It provides our cats with a unique opportunity to meet potential adopters in a relaxed, home-like environment where their personalities can truly shine. For many cats, it's the perfect place to make a connection that leads to a forever home.

To everyone who has visited, shared, volunteered, adopted, or supported Purrfect Day Cat Cafรฉ over the years: thank you. These 1,440 adoptions represent 1,440 lives changed, and we're excited to see how many more cats will find homes in the years ahead.

The promotion is valid at both shelter locations, all PetSmart adoption events, and for eligible animals currently living in foster homes.

Whether you're looking for a playful sidekick, a couch companion, a hiking buddy, or a sweet senior to spoil, we've got hundreds of animals hoping this weekend is their turn to go home.

While we're incredibly grateful for the support our community has shown, animals continue entering our care faster than they're leaving. Last weekend alone, we took in 89 animals and completed 61 adoptions. With fireworks, summer storms, and peak stray season right around the corner, we know the need for space is only going to grow.

Every adopted pet goes home:
๐Ÿพ Spayed or neutered
๐Ÿพ Microchipped
๐Ÿพ Up-to-date on vaccinations

๐Ÿ“ Visit us this weekend. No appointment needed. Same-day adoptions available.

The Savannah Bananas got their win this weekend. Now it's time for Banana and the rest of our shelter animals to get theirs.

When Savannah Bananas star Jackson Olson stopped by, he met Banana, Savannah Banana the puppy, and even some of our community cats. But it was Banana who really stole the show. ๐Ÿ’›

Right now, we're seeing more animals come through our doors every day, and we desperately need adopters and fosters to create space.

Every adoption creates space. Every foster home saves a life. Every share helps an animal get seen.
