Chula Vista's Animal Care Facility will sponsor a free, family carnival to highlight the needs of homeless cats at Chula Vista's animal shelter. The adoption event will be held at the new and improved facility located at 130 Beyer Way on Saturday, August 28 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Adoption fees will be waived for all kittens and cats. Animal care staff is hoping the special event will draw attention to the plight of the region's orphaned felines.
Besides adopting your new feline friend, each new "parent" will also receive a tote full of goodies, including a ticket to be entered into a prize bowl for gift certificates to local restaurants, a gift basket and more.
Entertainment beginning at 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. includes the Fire Department's search and rescue dog, Cody, story time for kids, Frazzle the Clown and Alakazam Magic Show.
Last year, the shelter took in more than 3,600 cats in need. But between today's slow economic conditions and an extended kitten season, the staff has been hit with a tidal wave of kittens too young to survive in a shelter environment. The shelter's foster care program has been very successful in helping these tiny animals survive and thrive until they are ready to be adopted.
But the shelter is reaching maximum capactiy to house the kittens and cats and is in desperate need of help and homes.
