The Cowley County Humane Society has had to start a waiting list for people wanting to surrender animals due to several factors, including a big increase in kittens and fewer adoptions. The shelter has had 51 intakes and 18 adoptions for the month as of July 11, according to a post on the CCHS Facebook page. CCHS released a statement July 8, saying that they are aware of community members who are frustrated because the shelter cannot immediately take in animals they need to surrender. Kitten season, the time of year when a large number of kittens are born, has hit the shelter hard, the statement reads. People have left animals at the shelter door after hours, including entire litters of kittens and a pregnant cat. There is currently a waiting list of people who need to drop off kittens and cats, the statement reads.
