The SPCA of Wake County offers a summer reading program for children in grades K through 5. Children are invited to our Adoption Center to read their favorite stories to shelter pets, so that they can develop confidence in their reading abilities in a fun and pressure-free environment. Children will be assigned to read to a cat or dog (based on availability) for a total of 40 minutes of reading! For the rest of the session, they will participate in a structured activity that will vary each week.

Sessions are one hour long and take place every other Monday, except for the last week. For the last week, sessions will take place on Sunday, August 23.

• You must attend with your child.
• You (the parent/guardian) must register for the session (no walk-ins)
• Only 10 parent spaces available at each session – Max. participants per registration is 3 people (1 parent & 2 children). This is for the safety and comfort of our adoptable pets!
• For Parent Registration: Below, click the week and time of the day you want to attend Cat Tales and register YOURSELF for the program. You will be able to tell us about the child(ren) coming with you during the registration process.

At this time, Cat Tales has been postponed until further notice.
