Whisker Takes a Stand for Cats: Adoption Fees Waived This June

Starting June 1, 2026, Whisker, the renowned leader in connected cat products, has teamed up with the Best Friends Animal Society to cover adoption fees at various locations nationwide throughout the month of June. This effort not only aims to assist potential cat owners but also addresses the ongoing issues faced by animal shelters across the country, particularly in terms of capacity and resource challenges.

The initiative is launched in the spirit of National Adopt a Cat Month, a time that encourages awareness and increases cat adoption rates across the nation. With adoption fees typically set at $100 for adult cats and $150 for kittens, Whisker's program significantly reduces financial barriers, making it easier for families to open their homes to a new feline companion. Moreover, adopters during this period will have a chance to enter a giveaway to win a special Litter-Robot 4 Best Friends Bundle, which provides everything needed for a smooth transition to cat parenthood.

“The bond between humans and cats is profound,” said Hew Loyd, CMO of Whisker. “Not only do they offer companionship, but they also bring joy into our lives. By waiving these fees, we are removing an obstacle for families who wish to adopt and embrace these wonderful animals. It’s a fitting extension of our mission to support both pets and their people.”

Since the partnership began in 2023, Whisker has helped more than 25,000 cats find homes, showcasing the effectiveness of this collaboration. Julie Castle, the CEO of Best Friends Animal Society, echoed the enthusiasm, expressing gratitude for the partnership and noting that facilitating adoptions is crucial in preventing unnecessary shelter deaths. According to recent statistics from Best Friends, the number of cats euthanized in shelters has fallen to the lowest recorded levels in history.

Adoption opportunities will be available at several key Best Friends locations, including:

• - Best Friends Pet Adoption Center in Los Angeles
• - Best Friends Pet Lifesaving Center in Houston
• - Best Friends Pet Resource Center in Northwest Arkansas
• - Best Friends Pet Adoption Center in Salt Lake City
• - Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah
• - Temporary pet adoption location in New York City, starting June 6.

Each participating location will feature cats that vary in age, personality, and history, ranging from playful kittens to older cats seeking loving environments. This campaign reflects Whisker’s ongoing commitment to improving the lives of both pets and their owners.

In addition to waiving fees, Whisker will contribute a portion of every purchase of the Litter-Robot 4 Best Friends Bundle to Best Friends Animal Society. This encompasses a full package, including the litter box, a step, a fence, a carbon filter, a LitterTrap® mat, odor-neutralizing OdorTrap® packs, a 20 lb. bag of GreatLitter, and a one-year WhiskerCare® warranty.

This outstanding initiative is a clear testament to the power of collaboration. Whisker’s involvement underscores its dedication to enhancing the quality of life for pets, and as it partners with Best Friends Animal Society, they are both taking significant steps towards ensuring that more cats find their forever homes. As the month progresses, the call to action resonates: adopt, save, and love a cat.
