Free cat adoptions at Long Island shelter make room for Hurricane Milton rescues

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. (PIX11) – If you’ve been looking to bring home a new furry friend now might be the time.

North Shore Animal League America will waive adoption fees on all cats and kittens from Thursday through Monday, Oct. 14. Those looking to adopt can visit Bianca’s Furry Friends Feline Adoption Center in Port Washington.

Newly adopted cats will come with all of their routine examinations and vaccinations without charge, but those who have not yet been spayed or neutered will require a deposit to do so.

Rescue teams from the Long Island-based animal rescue are assisting shelters impacted by Hurricane Helene, and those in the path of Hurricane Milton . Organizers are now running this adoption event to help make room for more rescue animals in the storm’s path.

North Shore Animal League America’s adoption centers are open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.  No appointments are necessary.
