Creamsicle's No-Fee Adult Cat Adoption Days
July 28 - August 1, 2025
Adoption fees for all adult cats (ages 6 months and older) have been pre-paid by a generous sponsor.
Creamsicle, a 2-year-old cat who was adopted from the Richmond SPCA on June 27, inspired his new guardian, Rob Fox, to sponsor adoptions, helping other adult cats find lasting, loving homes. Kittens often grab all the attention during summer months, but there are many wonderful adult cats also awaiting adoption, such as Rob's cats Creamsicle and Cal, both alumni of the Richmond SPCA.
