The Canadian Animal Rescue & Extended Shelter (CARES) is hosting its next Adopt-A-Thon on Feb. 17 and 18 in 91原创.

The locally based cat shelter and rescue organization will partner again with PetSmart to help find forever homes for some of the shelter鈥檚 cats.

The event takes place at the PetSmart on the 91原创 Bypass from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on February 17 and 18.

鈥淲ith our cat 鈥榝amily鈥 and shelter overheads increasing each year, the need for a successful event become greater as we go forward,鈥 said Clive Ellis, chair of the CARES fundraising committee.

He said there will be a good selection of cats on both days, with ample people to answer questions and to handle adoptions. Some adoptions may be done on the same day.

Also coming up is the annual CARES Family Fun Bowling Night on March 3 at Willowbrook Lanes.
