Fulton County Animal Services (FCAS) is overrun with cats. The shelter, which can house 90 cats at a time, is currently housing 175. To save as many of the kitties as possible and encourage people to adopt, FCAS is waiving the adoption fee for all cats and kittens from July 27 to Aug. 10. Potential adopters will still be screened to ensure the animals are being placed in good homes.

According to FCAS Director Lara Hudson, the shelter wants to get as many cats adopted out as possible. “It would break our hearts to have to euthanize all of these beautiful animals, but we have completely run out of space,” says Hudson. “We are asking the community to help us save lives by coming in and adopting cats free of charge.”

For absolutely no cost, adopters will receive a cat that has been spayed or neutered, has had all vaccines and is microchipped. To view cats available for adoption, please visit the shelter at 860 Marietta Blvd. NW or go to their website at fultonanimalservices.com/adopt.

UPDATE: 60 cats were adopted last week after this story appeared online. Now the shelter is turning its attention to adopting out dogs. Read the story at this link.
