On the fourth Saturday of each month, Animal Spirit, a pet store in North Cambridge, hosts an event on behalf of Pets in Need, a local nonprofit shelter. Visitors to the store can see cats and kittens available for adoption and ask questions of the volunteers, who take applications for available animals. The next events take place from 1 to 4 p.m., May 28 and June 25.

 

“Local animal shelters need our support during these difficult economic times,” says store owner Susan Warren-Southwick, “whether it be donations of time or money, or adopting a new friend.”

 

For more than a decade, Animal Spirit has been a leading local purveyor of organic and natural pet products. The store offers delivery, cat boarding and other services, and hosts education and adoption hours on weekends, featuring various local dog, cat and small animal shelters.
