LARGO, Fla. – SPCA Tampa Bay will waive adoption fees during its “May the Pocket Pets Be With You” adoption event, May 3-31.

The majority of pocket pets, like small birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs, can be adopted without a fee from SPCA Tampa Bay.

More than 80 pocket pets that are furry, fluffy, or bouncy are awaiting a loving home. These animal companions come in all shapes and sizes, and they’re waiting to be adopted—one pocket pet per family for the promotion. Cats and dogs are not pocket pets, and they’re not included in this promotion.

When: Check spcatampabay.org/locations for hours, May 3-31; the adoption office is closed Monday and Tuesday

Where: SPCA Tampa Bay, 9099 130th Avenue North, Largo, Florida 33773

How: View adoptable pocket pets on spcatampabay.org/pocket-pets or visit the shelter in Largo. Potential adopters are encouraged to come early to the shelter and bring a carrier or housing that’s appropriate for your new pet.

Pets can bring love to a family that lasts a lifetime. SPCA Tampa Bay’s staff and volunteers can assist families in finding a pocket pet that’s right for their family’s lifestyle. The adoption team focuses on matching families and pets for long-term success.

Past fee-waived adoption events have helped animals find new loving homes in only a few days, which frees resources for SPCA Tampa Bay to provide care and shelter for animals in our community. SPCA Tampa Bay cares for more than 8,000 animals each year including wildlife.
