Over the weekend, we saw a sad story about a kitten that someone tossed out the window of their car as the person drove across a bridge in New York City. The shelter had been flooded with hundreds of applications to adopt the adorable kitten.
We were extremely pleased to hear the shelter worker say that they had hundreds (yes, hundreds) of other kittens available for adoption. It is easy to get caught up in stories about cruelty, hoarding, or other headline-grabbing events and forget that millions of animals languish in shelters every day all over the country.
They may not have a dramatic story. They may have been found as strays or relinquished by owners. Their stories do not make the 6 o’clock news. Let us not forget the others who need homes too.
