DEEP GAP, NC – After the tragic infection and death of dozens of cats at Watauga County Humane Society, the facilities’ workers are now more lonely than ever, and in desperate need of attention and affection from visitors.

Ads have run online and in local publications by the Humane Society, who are planning an official rebranding that would drop the “E” from their title. Most of the ads show images of the available staff in cute poses and playing with tiny, stuffed mice.

“The training process can be tedious and challenging, but we guarantee it pays off,” said the program’s director, Samantha Macintosh. “Just look at those darling blue eyes on that one! His name’s Josh, he’s 28. We’re looking all around to find him a loving home!”

Leadership of the Human Society hope that the changes in the inhabitants and adoption procedures will come off without a hitch, and keep the organization’s popularity from a major drop.
