NEW YORK (PIX11) – A New Jersey animal shelter is offering a light-hearted way to get over your ex this upcoming Valentine’s Day.
The Homeward Bound Pet Adoption Center will name a feral cat after your ex and neuter or spay them for a $50 donation. In a promotional poster for the event, the shelter said, “Because some things shouldn’t breed.”
The cat will then be released as part of the shelter’s trap-neuter-return program. The program helps control the feral cat population by stopping the breeding cycle, according to the shelter.

“Donated! The real guy deserves to be neutered, but a cat with his name will do lol,” Instagram user gush.and.go commented on the shelter’s post for the promotion .
The promotion is similar to others created by animal shelters to raise money tied to Valentine’s Day. A shelter in Rhode Island will write your ex’s name on a piece of paper and put it in a litter box for $5.
