The Animal Protective Foundation shelter is at full capacity due to a Schenectady SPCA investigation where almost 20 animals were taken in and now the shelter is up to 150 animals.

The APF is also helping Robin’s Nest TNR (Trap, Neuter Release) to house close to 60 cats when they were removed from a Schenectady city apartment. Adopters are needed to come and take the animals home.

The APF is running a “Pick Your Price” promotion for cats now through Saturday to help decrease the number of animals in the shelter.

People can name their adoption fee for cats over the age of 1 year - anything over $5. Cats are also available for adoption at PetSmart in Niskayuna. Kittens will be $50 and two kittens for $75. Dog fees will remain the same.

If you cannot adopt an animal you can still help by donating supplies like canned cat and dog food, paper towels, clay cat litter, laundry detergent (HD and regular) and small round cat beds that can be laundered.
