The Calgary Humane Society is facing a crisis after rescuing 110 cats and kittens from a single residence, straining its resources and capacity. The shelter, already operating at full capacity, is calling for adopters, foster homes, and community donations to help alleviate the situation.

The organization is asking for help after an influx of cats and kittens from a single home in Calgary. The Calgary Humane Society is feeling significant strain this week after taking in 110 cats and kittens that were surrendered from a single residence.
Fitzsimmons added that after the shelter has been operating at full capacity already for most of this year, the new intake means every kennel is full this morning, sometimes with multiple cats sharing one kennel due to lack of space and the cats coming from the same home. A concerned citizen alerted peace officers to the home where the cats were found. The shelter initially thought there might be roughly 60 cats in the home. But they removed nearly double that over several days.
Fitzsimmons noted that in the home where they found the 110 cats, none of the animals had been spayed or neutered, which is how the situation got out of control.'Perfect storm' has Calgary Humane Society desperate for adoptions this month
