If a dog lands at the Denver Dumb Friends League shelter, odds are the owners will find their beloved lost pet, or the pooch will be adopted. However, cats at this top-notch shelter only have around a 60 percent chance of finding a home. quot;And we do a heck of a lot better for cats than most, quot; says shelter CEO and president Bob Rohde.
On an average day, 228 cats are euthanized in animal shelters -- each hour! That's four per minute. The good news is, the number of dogs put down at shelters is less than half that number. While cats are America's most popular pet, they sometimes pay a price which seems wrong.
The CATalyst Council, a nonprofit coalition that promotes cat welfare issues, has partnered with the American Humane Association s long-standing Adopt-A-Cat month initiative to support shelter adoptions for cats in June. Over 5,000 cats are euthanized daily in shelters across the U.S.
