Pet Supplies Plus opens Kitty City II free-roaming cat adoption center in White Lake Twp., Michigan

Grand opening includes

 100-cat adoption event June 1-3

 When Addy Shattuck, owner of three Pet Supplies Plus stores in Oakland County, opened the first Kitty City adoption center in 2011, she never dreamed that so many felines  would find good homes as a result of her custom-designed cat habitat.  Her success with the first Kitty City has led to the opening of Kitty City II at Shattuck’s Pet Supplies Plus store in White Lake Twp.

Kitty City II is identical to the original Kitty City at Pet Supplies Plus in Bloomfield Hills.  Both are free- roaming, cage free adoption centers, designed by Shattuck, that enable kitties waiting for new homes to watch the birds outside through floor-to-ceiling windows, lounge in miniature arm chairs, and enjoy the soft breeze of an overhead ceiling fan.  Shattuck designed each Kitty City with plenty of perches for cats to climb, soft beds for sleeping and concealed litter boxes for privacy.  At any given time, each Kitty City is a temporary home to 20 or more cats.

The open environment enables the public to interact with the cats, get to know their unique personalities and, if Shattuck gets her way, fall in love and take home a new family member.  Cat adoptions at the Bloomfield Hills Pet Supplies Plus more than doubled with the opening of Kitty City.  Shattuck anticipates the same result in White Lake Twp.

“Kitty City allows the cats to be themselves.” says Shattuck.  “Prospective adopters can play with the kitties, get to know them and see how wonderful these cats are.   We have people coming into the store just to play with the cats.  And, of course, many of them end up adopting one.”

A Kitty City II grand opening at Pet Supplies Plus in White Lake Twp. includes a three-day, 100-cat adoption event starting at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 1 through  5 p.m. on Sunday,  June 3.  Adoption fee of $59 includes spay or neuter, vaccines and health check.   All cats are from Oakland Pet Adoption Center in Auburn Hills or Elizabeth Lake Animal Rescue in Waterford.

On Sunday, June 3 customers can bring their cats and dogs to a pet health care fair from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. that includes free wellness exams and reduced cost vaccines, feline leukemia tests and microchipping provided by Union Lake Veterinary Hospital.  They will also be treated to a free barbecue lunch from noon to 3 p.m.

Guess who else will be there

 Sun, June 3rd? ME!

Will there be a Kitty City III?  Shattuck is considering the possibility at her third Pet Supplies Plus store.  But for now, she’s hoping that the White Lake Twp. location will have a big impact on finding homes for homeless cats and kittens.

“Unfortunately, Oakland County has a huge overpopulation of cats” Shattuck said.  “We are hoping that Kitty City will help more people see just how wonderful cats are.” 

Me! I visited the first Kitty City last year!

for those who missed the video I shot when I visited Kitty City I, here it is again! I am sorry for the amateur quality, hey I never said I possessed the video chops of Glogirly!

When I shot this I also had cats on my lap! Hard to maneuver the camera. The creator of Kitty City, (Addy) is in the shot with my husband!

“People are sometimes surprised by how intelligent and loving cats really are,” said Addy Shattuck, owner of Pet Supplies Plus in Bloomfield Hills.  Our events attract a lot of first time cat adopters, but we also see a lot of families that want to bring home a companion for their existing cat.  We highly encourage providing pets with same species playmates.  It keeps the pet occupied and they are so much fun to watch together!”

To enable ongoing high-volume cat adoptions, Pet Supplies Plus in Bloomfield Hills is building a Kitty City cageless adoption center.  Customers will be able to preview this new habitat at the event. 

The Cat’s Pajamas will take place at Pet Supplies Plus in Bloomfield Hills at 2057 Telegraph, north of Square Lake Rd.  Sponsors include The Cat Practice veterinary hospital in Birmingham and NOOTERS Club®, a national designer of apparel and gifts promoting pet spay and neuter and responsible pet guardianship.
