INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) — Indianapolis Animal Care Services is out of space for cats.

“Right now, we have zero open cat cages,” said Katie Trennepohl, IACS Deputy Director. “The staff is doing everything they can to find space for the cats that continue to come into the shelter, but we desperately need the public’s help.”

The shelter is calling for people to adopt cats as there are 70 more felines than IACS has cages for.

That means workers are having to put two cats per cage or house them in dog crates.

The shelter also expects another 35 cats to be surrendered between now and the end of the day Tuesday.

As a result, adoptions are free and the shelter is open until 6 p.m. Monday.

Due to the lack of cat space, IACS is asking anyone who is considering surrendering their pet to call the shelter to set up an appointment at 317-327-1397 and you will need to select OPTION 3.

If you can’t adopt a cat right now, there are still ways you can help:
