The Calgary Humane Society says they are now well over capacity after two large seizures of pets in the past two weeks.

Officials say the seizures were made at two homes in Calgary that were classified as hoarding situations.

From the first home, police seized 35 cats, while at the second, they recovered 27 birds.

These, along with the other mass seizures in the City of Calgary this year, are pushing the shelter over capacity.

Brad Nichols, senior manager in the Animal Cruelty Investigations department at the agency says that all the animals taken during these past seizures are in relatively good health, which is unusual considering the circumstances where they were being kept.

"Typically, a hoard consists of feral and inbred animals with a high degree of medical intervention required. These

groups appear to be well adjusted and we expect they will make good house pets once treatable

medical issues are resolved. If a potential adopter ever wanted to offer a new loving home to an

animal at the core of an animal cruelty investigation, now is a great time to come in," he said in a release.

In an attempt to open up shelter space, the Humane Society has reduced adoption fees for cats aged seven months and older for the month of November along with select birds.

There are no specific details about the seizures at this time, but officials say that charges are pending.
