Three local animal welfare organizations are joining forces to help cats and kittens find homes during a St. Patrick’s Day-themed adoption event this week.

Save Our Cats and Kittens (SOCKS) will host the St. Catty’s Day O’Doption event on March 15, 2025, from noon to 5 p.m. at their facility located at 498 Carmel Drive.

The cats and kittens available for adoption will come from SOCKS, the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) and Pet Welfare.

Event organizers are offering a special adoption fee of only $17 during the event, making it an affordable opportunity for potential pet owners to add a new feline companion to their family.

Attendees can enjoy Irish food and beer while browsing the available cats. The event will also feature raffle prizes to add to the festivities.

For more information about the St. Catty’s Day O’Doption event, interested individuals can contact SOCKS directly.
