February Star Sanctuary will bring up to five horses and dozens of cats to Knoxville, Maryland, for an adoption event on November 7 and 8. The sanctuary is joining Petco Love for its national pet adoption weekend, a campaign partnered with Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and The Cat in the Hat. Visitors can meet adoptable animals at 3910 Ausherman Road. The event runs from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on November 7.
Horses And Cats Available
February Star Sanctuary will have dozens of adoptable pets at the Knoxville event, including horses and cats. Prospective adopters are encouraged to complete an equine adoption inquiry form or a cat services form before visiting.
Phyllis Smith, Executive Director/Co-Founder at February Star Sanctuary, said:
“If you have a paw or hoof shaped hole in your heart, February Star Sanctuary welcomes you to our November adoption event to find your next best friend. Adoption is a fulfilling way to bring joy to your life, and save the life of a pet in need,”
A National Adoption Weekend
Petco Love’s campaign features characters from the new full-length animated The Cat in the Hat, which arrives in theaters November 6. The national campaign also includes a public service announcement voiced by Bill Hader, who stars in the film.
Chelsea Staley, President at Petco Love, said:
“The Cat in the Hat reminds us that even an ordinary day can become something joyful. Adopting a pet brings that same sense of fun and possibility into your life. Pets fill our homes with love, laughter, and moments of happiness we never could have imagined.”

Petco Love has helped find homes for more than 7.2 million pets through partnerships with Petco and more than 4,000 animal welfare organizations nationwide, including organizations in Frederick, Maryland. Since 1999, the nonprofit has invested more than $442 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts.
