Once again, the San Francisco SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is excited to be partnering with Macy’s on the presentation of the 22nd Annual Holiday Windows Adoption Outreach event to give homeless cats and kittens, dogs and puppies a second chance to find loving homes.
Published: November, 2008
From the unveiling of the Holiday Windows at 12 p.m. on Friday, November 21, through January 1, adorable cats and dogs, kittens and puppies seeking loving homes take up residence in their very own magical pet place in the windows of Macy’s Union Square store at Stockton and O’Farrell Streets. Noted as one of USA Today’s 10 Great Places to Press Your Nose Against the Glass, Macy’s pet-friendly Holiday Windows inspired the adoption of 277 animals and approximately $37,000 in donations for the SF/SPCA last year.
Macy’s designers create delightful, make-believe windows in which the dogs and cats can frolic. Adults and children alike are enchanted by the miniature, festive settings, fixtures and fittings. All of the creature comforts are provided for the furry little animal companions, including temperature controlled windows, hidden litter boxes, and comfy spots for those quick cat (and dog) naps!
While the cats and dogs are on display at Macy’s Union Square, SF/SPCA representatives are on-site to answer questions from potential adopters. Every adoptable animal is medically and behaviorally screened, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered. Each animal comes with a 30-day gift of pet health insurance, a free dog- or cat-advice DVD, leash and collar (for dogs) and discounts on most SF/SPCA training classes. Adopters also receive a gift bag filled with samples, treats and valuable certificates from sponsor partners of The SF/SPCA and Macy’s.
