Urgent: 21 cats dropped off overnight

This morning, in the cold hours before dawn, a silver SUV drove up to the Marin Humane Society’s night kennel and dropped off several cardboard boxes. When the Animal Services Officer on duty discovered the boxes, he heard a chorus of meows.

Inside the boxes were 21 cats.

The 12 adults and 9 kittens were immediately brought inside MHS’s doors, where they were given food, water, and clean kennels with fresh bedding and blankets. All of these cats will be given medical care, behavior evaluations, socialization, spay or neuter surgery – and lots of love.

MHS is currently caring for 150 cats and kittens, and they are near capacity. As an open-door shelter, they are dedicated to caring for each and every animal who comes to us for help. But they cannot do it without you.

You can also help the MHS find more animals homes for the holidays by spreading the word: MHS is waiving adoption fees for cats age five months and older! Every cat who finds a home creates more space in the shelter to save even more lives.
