Rescue Offering Holiday Discount For New Fur Babies In Vegas

There's no place like home for the holidays, especially when you're snuggled up to a new fur baby. Las Vegas has a lot of homeless pets, both cats and dogs. But Homeward Bound is helping find homes for some of these animals in need. And with the help of a grant from the Gene Haas Foundation, Homeward Bound is able to give a generous discount to new pet owners.

For just $25 adoption fee on any cat over a year old, a new owner will still get everything all the pets at Homeward Bound come with. All pet adoptions at the shelter include up-to-date vaccinations that are age-appropriate. As well as a microchip and spay or neutering.

The Homeward Bound Cat Adoption center is located at 2675 East Flamingo Road, Suite 3 in Las Vegas. On the corner of Eastern and Flamingo. Their hours are Tuesday through Sunday, from 12 noon to 6 pm. The $25 adoption special only goes through closing on Tuesday, December 12. But the center will be open beyond, closing at 4pm on Christmas Eve and closed on Christmas Day.

So even if you don't take advantage of the holiday discount this week, you can still bring home a new cat before Christmas. Or if you have a pet-lover on your list who can't take in a new animal, you can make a donation in their name to the shelter.

You can see all the cats available for adoption at Homeward Bound Cat Adoption center, and get more information, at homewardboundcats.org.

Pets are like humans they require tender love and care. Day beds, toe-nail clippers, embellished pet-wear and chew toys are essentials for our cherished loved-ones.

Vegas locals understand that doting for your pet is a lifestyle only animal lovers will understand. One of the great things about living in a humane city is that there are many pet shops that cater to our confidants. And we aren't just talking about dogs and cats. Locals have proven that owning birds, bunnies, snakes, guinea pigs, real pigs and horses are just a few of the types of animals you will see out and about.

The stores below really focus on your not so common pets everyday wants and needs. Getting a new exotic pet can create some curiosity. Building tanks and cages are helpful in providing a sense of shelter for your reptilian friends. Bug blends and silkworm puree are just a couple of names you'll hear in the exotic landscape. It helps to get familiar with a new environment by jumping scales in. Education classes help with the dos and donts so you don't end up hurting your new family member.
