All proceeds from the Putts for Pets Golf Outing benefit the programs and services of NAHS, which include the sheltering and adoption of homeless pets, education programs for children and a behavior helpline.

June Promotion: Certified, Pre-owned Cats
In honor of Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat month, Naperville Area Humane Society is offering "Certified, Pre-owned Cats" as its June promotion!
From June 1-30, the adoption fee for adults cats is $25 while kittens are $100. With kitten season upon us, the reduced fees allow NAHS to find homes for more cats and kittens so room in the shelter can be made for additional pets.
If you are thinking of opening your home to a new cat or kitten, please stop by the shelter or visit our website to look at all the cats and dogs available for adoption.

If you aren't able to add a new feline to your family right now, there are some other ways you can help homeless cats and kittens:
1. Show your virtual support by dedicating your Facebook status, tweet or blog to the NAHS Cat of the Week, helping to spread the word. You can also friend us on Facebook and follow our tweets at the links below.
2. Donate items including treats, toys, crates, food and litter to the shelter. These donations allow NAHS to then use funds on other necessities like vaccinations and spay/neuter surgeries.
3. Volunteer to become a foster family caring for a pregnant cat and her kittens, or orphaned kittens too young for adoption. For more information on volunteer opportunities, contact Becky at (630) 420-8989 x113 or via email.
Cats and dogs are in the shelter through no fault of their own - it's usually owners who can no longer afford to care for their pet or don't have enough time to give their pet the love and attention they need and deserve. So, take a chance on a certified, pre-owned cat!
