Billings Kitten Adoption Event Happening Saturday at Shipton's

If you've been thinking about getting a new feline friend, come out to Shipton's Big R West on Saturday, June 13, for a special Kitten Adoption Event! Townsquare Media will be broadcasting live from 11 AM to 2 PM, joining our friends from Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter.

Derek Wulf, Humane Outreach Coordinator at YVAS, said they'll have around a dozen very cute, very loving, and very adoptable cats and kittens on-site, ready to take home on Saturday.

Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter is currently brimming with cats.

Here's an eye-opening stat for you. A fertile female cat can have three litters per year, typically with four to six kittens each time. If none of these kittens are spayed or neutered, this momma kitty and her siblings could theoretically produce over 400,000 offspring in just seven years. Wow.
