To do it, they need just 31 adoptions today. This is very possible with almost 90 adoptable animals currently waiting for new homes.<\/p>\n<p>During the summer months an influx of cats, and especially kittens is common. Right now, there are still nearly 300 kittens and even puppies in foster waiting to come into the shelter when they are old enough. New animals are arriving daily.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last week there have been almost 200 intakes into the shelter. Thankfully some have been adopted, transferred to other rescues, or reclaimed. To help make space the shelter will offer fee-waived cat and kitten adoptions through Saturday, August 1st.<\/p>\n<p>If you cannot make it to the shelter today, FWACC will be open this Saturday from 9 am -12 noon for adoptions, or you can visit one of the 11 offsite adoption locations to meet adoptable cats and kittens. Check out the website to find the location of your next furry friend.<\/p>\n<p>View adoptable animals at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityoffortwayne.in.gov\/162\/Animal-Care-Control\" target=\"_blank\">www.fwacc.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control is an open access shelter and will never turn away an animal from within Allen County. Anyone struggling to care for their animal can contact the shelter for assistance. If you are interested in learning more about fostering, ways to support the shelter including donating, or if you need assistance, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityoffortwayne.in.gov\/162\/Animal-Care-Control\" target=\"_blank\">visit the website at www.fwacc.org<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='e978b780d5c2282a3c437f059f848b4e' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
