To celebrate Black Cat Appreciation Day (which occurred on Monday, August 17, 2015), the Arizona Animal Welfare League & Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (AAWL & SPCA) is offering a “Me and My Shadow” two-for-one adoption special that extends through August 23. During this time, you can adopt any cat or kitten at the regular adoption fee and adopt a black and white kitten at no additional cost.

More than four million people are bitten by dogs each year despite the fact that these incidents are very preventable.
