AHS Fur-For-All was Fur-tastic

By Jordan Smith, August 3, 2010, 3:00pm, Newsdesk

Cat lovers literally lined up around the Austin Humane Society's North Austin shelter on July 31, ready to take home a new pal during the AHS's free adoption day.

According to the AHS' spokeswoman, Lisa Starr, a total of 161 cats were adopted on Saturday during the fur-for-all cat-extravaganza, just 90 cats fewer than the shelter adopts out in a typical month.

The success of the program was a relief for the shelter which has been operating at 200% of its normal cat-pacity thanks to a mad breeding season that saw 1,000 cats brought to Town Lake Animal Center in just three months.

Just because the free-fur-all is over doesn't mean that now isn't still the purrfect time to adopt a feline friend. The AHS has ongoing adoption specials for kitty lovers. Check here for more information on the adoption process.
