| Adoptable kittens and cats will implore holiday shoppers for new homes from Macy's display windows in San Francisco from Nov. 16, 2007 to Jan. 1, 2008. |
In an effort to promote animal adoptions through the holidays, staff members and volunteers with San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will spruce up Macy’s holiday shopping windows with cats, dogs, kittens and puppies that need permanent homes.
The 21st Annual Holiday Windows Adoption Outreach event will feature several 5-foot decorated “snow globes” that will house the adoptable animals. Visions of San Francisco landmarks, including the Golden Gate and Bay bridges, will surround the globes along with traditional holiday decorations.
The windows and globes will be temperature-controlled environments, and pets will have cozy locations to nap, San Francisco SPCA officials said.
Last year’s display resulted in 200 cat and dog adoptions as well as $25,000 in donations, according to San Francisco SPCA officials.
Every doggie — and kitty — in the window will be vaccinated, altered, microchipped and screened for behavioral and medical issues. Each pet will come with a 30-day medical assistance plan, a gift collar, a new leash or carrier and an adoption kit with coupons and information on raising a new pet.
The scene hits the Macy’s San Francisco store in Union Square on Nov. 16, 2007, where former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young will be on-site for the unveiling. The display will run through Jan. 1, 2008.
San Francisco SPCA officials will set up a webcam and air live footage of the pets in the window on it’s the organizations' website.
