GREENBELT, Maryland 鈥斅燫emember those kittens and cats dumped outside the Greenbelt Animal Shelter a few weeks ago?

It turns out there鈥檚 some good news: Shelter officials say the 28 cats that were left at the shelter’s doorstep in boxes and plastic crates have almost聽all聽been adopted or placed with rescue groups.

The only ones that have not been scooped up yet are a聽small聽mother and her litter that she delivered聽shortly before being left at the shelter. So for now, she and her five kittens are resting. In about four weeks, they鈥檒l all聽be ready for adoption.

Celia Craze, director of the department of planning and community development in Greenbelt, says not only did all the available abandoned cats and kittens find new homes, but some cats that had been waiting to be adopted before the new arrivals showed up were placed as well.

Donations to the shelter also have increased.

Craze says thanks in part to 91欧美激情鈥檚 coverage, many cats now have happy forever homes.
