Grand Junction, Colo.
Animal shelters across Colorado are all dealing with the same problem—an over-crowding of cats. Area shelters say the cat crowding has a lot to do with the down economy.
From Denver to Grand Junction, the number of cats needing homes is up from last year. The economy has made it impossible for some pet owners be able to afford to feed their pets. Mesa County Animal Services has taken in 1,468 cats so far this year. Some shelters are even waiving their adoption fee for all felines.
The Roice-Hurst Humane Society in Clifton says they’ve hit their capacity of cats. They say people are more likely to leave behind cats than dogs when they move.
“I think the economy is really affecting the cat overpopulation because people are moving and leaving their cats to fend for themselves. It’s a terrible thing to do,” Director of Roice-Hurst Humane Society, Denise Lashmett said.
Shelter directors say the key to saving these animals is to spay and neuter your dogs and cats.
