CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Animal Protective League is overwhelmed with cats and kittens needing homes.

In the last five days, 156 cats and kittens arrived at the shelter in Tremont, including 10 left by a Dumpster in a sealed box in yesterday's heat and a mother and six kittens left in a garbage can Sunday.

"The number of cats that need us has exceeded our cage space, but we will not euthanize animals to make space," director Sharon Harvey said.

"That means we need to do a huge number of adoptions now, and we're asking our community for help."

All cats and kittens will be available tomorrow for $5 each. They are vaccinated and neutered and come with collars and ID tags.

"Please help us save lives. Adopt a cat. They're not trash," Harvey said.

The shelter at 1729 Willey Ave. is open tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
