Hopeful pets are awaiting new homes at the Fairfax County Animal Shelter, and an Olympics-inspired promotion hopes to take them there.

The shelter’s OlymPETS adoption event started Tuesday and lasts until Aug. 11. During that time, two cats or kittens can be adopted for the price of one and all adopted cats will receive a free spay or neuter.

The cost of adopting two cats would be $30 at the shelter at 4500 West Ox Road in Fairfax from 12 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturdays. For more information, please contact the Fairfax County Animal Shelter at (703) 830-1100.
