The PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week in July coincides with kitten season, which is the annual boom of kittens following the peak breeding season for cats. For that reason, JHS is encouraging all pet lovers to attend the event, as shelters are already full.

According to JHS, there will be staff and volunteers available at the event to help potential adopters spend time with the cats, dogs, kittens and puppies looking for a home.
