NORWICH – If you've ever thought about adopting a cat, now might be the perfect time. The SPCA has adopted out more than 50 cats and kittens since the Name Your Cat's Price event started in June, but executive director Annette Clarke says there's no end in sight.

The SPCA still has over 130 cats and kittens to be adopted, and Clarke says "there's really something for everyone." The fee to adopt a kitten over 4 months is any monetary donation if it is spayed or neutered. If the cat needs altering, the fee is the cost of the surgery which is commonly $150.

"The idea of the event is to get the cats adopted as quickly as possible," says Clarke. She said it has been hard having so many cats, especially in what they call "kitten season." Clarke says they could adopt out 5 cats and get 10 more in the same day and they are now considered a "no-kill shelter, or low-kill in extreme cases." The amount of euthanasias has dropped more than 85% in the 4 years that Clarke has been working at the SPCA.
