Adopt a furry friend at Furever Friends adoption drive
KUALA LUMPUR: Animal lovers in the Klang Valley looking to open their homes to a cat companion are invited to the Furever Friends Cat Adoption Drive happening on July 20 at Pavilion Damansara Heights.
The event, which runs from 1pm to 6pm, is part of the Furever Friends campaign organised by SAYS, JUICE, Fly FM and Lumi News.
It is held in conjunction with TV3's Cat Fashion Week and aims to promote animal welfare by encouraging adoption over buying.
All cats featured at the event are under the care of Pads & Paws KL, a local rescue group that rehabilitates and fosters abandoned and stray animals. Many of the cats available have been rescued from the streets or surrendered by previous owners and are now looking for a second chance at a loving home.
The adoption process is straightforward. Interested adopters can scan a QR code at the venue to fill in a short form. Upon approval, they will pay an adoption fee — RM150 per cat or RM250 for a pair — and sign a contract before taking their new pet home.
A refundable deposit of RM100 per kitten will also be collected, to be returned once proof of spaying or neutering is provided. Older kittens have already undergone the procedure.
Adopters are reminded to bring their own pet carriers. If one is not available, Pads & Paws KL can temporarily hold the cat until the adopter returns with a carrier.
TV3's Cat Fashion Week offers various family-friendly activities including a feline catwalk, face painting and a photo booth. The campaign will culminate in Malaysia's first televised cat fashion competition, with the grand finale airing on TV3 at 9pm on Aug 17.
