If you’re in the market for a new best friend — or pair of new best friends — the Arizona Animal Welfare League is running a deal for adoptions.

As part of their “Me and My Shadow” program, the Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA are trying to de-stigmatize black cats:

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.

PHOENIX - Studies show that black dogs and cats are adopted less often than pets of other colors, but Black Cat Appreciation Day is hoping to change that.

On Monday, the Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA starts a week-long special for adoptable dark-colored felines.

I have always loved animals. I remember spending hours during summer break giving my stuffed animals “check-ups” and wrapping their “injuries” in Ace bandages.

The kids are out of school which means they are most likely already bored if you haven’t found a summer camp. So what are you going to do to keep them entertained without emptying your wallet? If they love animals, you may want to check out the Arizona Animal Welfare League.

If you have not heard of AAWL  , it is one of the oldest and largest no-kill animal shelter in the Valley. They also offer many ways for kids to learn about the shelter and caring for the animals. One way is through their week-long summer camps.
