By now, I'm sure you've all heard about the plan to raid Area 51. If not, basically, some genius' made an event on Facebook called "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All Of Us." It is scheduled for September 20 this year. The strategy is for everyone to meet at Area 51 and then Naruto run faster than the bullets. The event started as a joke, but some officials are taking it seriously and begging people not to do it.

In amongst all the quality memes made about the event, these animal shelters have jumped on the creativity bandwagon and capitalised on the Area 51 hype.

The first shelter is called OKC Animal Welfare.

They posted some alien-themed pictures of the animals they have up for adoption.

Check out these protective pals!

Hopefully, they'll remain loyal to their human saviours and not their new alien overlords.

The shelter has over 100 dogs, approximately 40 cats and two pigs up for adoption.

Painting animals as a way to protect ourselves against whatever is in Area 51? Genius.

These are just some of the animals they have to protect us from the horrors of Area 51.

You can find their Facebook page here.

Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center took a different approach.

With their new marketing scheme saying that many aliens can be found in their center.

Cutest aliens EVER.

Aliens come in all shapes, sizes and textures.

If Area 51 is full of cats, you can count me IN.
