Callie here to kick things off:
Stop scrolling for one teeny tiny second and picture this… the moment you meet the cat (or dog, or bunny, or bird) who was meant to complete your family. Tail wags. Head boops. Purrs. Instant tears. Instant joy. Instant love.

That moment? It could happen this week. Because PetSmart National Adoption Week is BACK — and it’s kind of a big deal.

And yes… we’re emotional already.

😻 Why This Week Feels Extra Special to Rescue Cats Like Us

Seymour here:
Not to get all sappy on you, but adoption literally saved our lives. We’re not just cute faces around here. We’re living proof that events like PetSmart National Adoption Week change everything.

Here’s why this week matters — not just for humans, but for the thousands of pets waiting for a second chance:

Every 38 seconds, a pet finds a home at PetSmart.
Over 11 million pets adopted through their events (that’s a lot of belly rubs, friends).
This week alone, shelters & rescues are bringing out their very best good boys and girls to meet you.

What’s in it for you?

Pets often come vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for cuddles.
Adoption counselors are on-site to help you find the perfect fit.
You get to say you saved a life. How’s that for hero energy?

😺 The Secret Ingredient to a Happy Home…

Mama here, the wise one of the bunch:
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need love, a safe home, and maybe a lint roller (trust me).

When you adopt, you’re not just rescuing a pet — you’re building a life filled with:

Morning zoomies
Couch cuddles
Surprise hairballs
Unconditional love (even if we act aloof sometimes)

And guess what? We’ve got something to make your journey even easier.
