February 28, 2022 – Seal Beach, CA – Each year, more than five million pets enter animal shelters in need of loving homes. Helen Sanders CatPAWS is proud to partner with PetSmart Charities® to bring adoptable pets to Seal Beach PetSmart in support of National Adoption Week, taking place February 28 – March 6, 2022.
During the in-store event, Helen Sanders CatPAWS invites potential pet parents to meet adoptable cats in their area. Opportunities will be given to spend time with animals in need of loving homes in a spacious area. Staff and volunteers will help potential adopters learn about caring for a pet and the types of tools, products, and services they may need.
“National Adoption Week is an ideal opportunity to give a pet what they need most – people to love. Over the years, together with local partners such as Helen Sanders CatPAWS we’ve matched more than 9.5 million pets with loving homes. Most pet parents say their pets are important family members that enhance their lives, too. That’s a win-win!”
— Heidi Fulcher, Adoption Grants Manager at PetSmart Charities
While pets of all ages will be on-site, this National Adoption Week, PetSmart Charities is encouraging attendees to consider adopting adult or senior pets. Older pets can be overlooked, but often bring special benefits. They’ve been house-trained and are past the kitten/puppy stage involving chewing, frequent accidents, and the need for constant attention and activity. Older pets can still learn new tricks but are calmer and have greater attention spans. Senior pets require less supervision and can bring a laid-back energy to their new families.
