CAT will also have a Black Friday sale, November 23rd, featuring $5  adoptions for black or mostly black adult cats at CAT’s Sherwood shelter.

From the Cat Adoption Team:

Whether a homeless cat is sick, injured, or perfectly healthy and simply in need of a home, your donation ensures that a cat receives help when he or she needs it.

The Cat Adoption Team is a 501(c)(3) publicly supported charity.
