Texas Litter Control & PetSmart Hosts National Adoption Week

Texas Litter Control & PetSmart Hosts National Adoption WeekTexas Litter Control connects pets with loving homes during PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week, this week November 8th through the 14th. There is no better time to adopt a pet than ahead of the season of giving. As part of the in-store event, Texas Litter Control invites potential pet owners to attend and meet adoptable cats in their area. People will be given opportunities to spend time with animals in need of loving homes to make connections, learn about their care and also explore the types of products and services they’ll need as pet parents going forward. To view all available pets for adoption, please visit TLC Adoptable Pets at texaslittercontrol.o rg .“Helping our partners find perfect matches for the pets in their care helps us to fulfill our mission to bring people and pets together,” said Heidi Fulcher, Adoption Grants Manager at PetSmart Charities. “The pandemic taught us all just how much pets save us as much as we save them!”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 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.“With the mission to eliminate the suffering of companion animals in Texas, Texas Litter Control provides adoption options for fully vetted pets to the public in multiple locations. In order to help our animal control facilities reduce or eliminate euthanasia, Texas Litter Control pulls primarily from animal control facilities with the focus on length of stay and kitties who are not doing well at animal control. We are pleased that the 2 primary animal control facilities we work with have had the euthanasia rates of adoptable cats significantly reduced,” said Trudy Bennett, Community Outreach Manager at Texas Litter Control.
