Hutchinson Animal Shelter with lots of kittens and cats for adoption

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Animal Shelter had a successful weekend in dealing with what has become an overabundance of cats and kittens. The shelter had a short-time offer of waiving adoption fees, and found homes for 25 cats and kittens.

But the shelter continues to deal with a large number of felines, with about 30 cats and kittens in foster care, which are now filling up the shelter again.

In May, the shelter took in 143 cats and another 146 in June.

The shelter wants to stress the need to have your pets spay or neutered to keep the cat population under control. The shelter also has a barn cat program for farmers who want to control mice on their property.
