What: "Meows & Meals" pet food drive and adoption event.
Where: The Hermitage Cat Shelter, 5278 E. 21st St.
When: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Why: The Hermitage Cat Shelter's Food for People's Pets Program collects dog and cat food for local service agencies, which in turn distribute the food to needy people and their pets.
The program has distributed more than 26,000 pounds of pet food, but donations have dwindled, Hermitage Executive Director Mary Jo Spring said.
"Our cupboards are bare. Usually we have a lot of food," she said. "It's a sign of the times."
Adult cats and kittens also will be available for adoption.
Adoption specials include an adopt-one-kitty,-get-one-free or $10 off a single $50 adult cat adoption or $60 kitten adoption.
