Summer is the busiest time of the year at humane societies, due to the number of animals received and birthing season for kittens.  Dakin is overloaded with kittens right meow and more are arriving daily.  In an effort to promote kitten adoptions, and save lives, Kitten Kaboodle will offer specially reduced adoption fees for all kittens under six months old.  From Tuesday, July 30, through Sunday, August 4, 2013, kittens at Dakin adoption centers in Leverett and Springfield can go home for $125 (regularly $250) or $200 for a pair.
