Loving homes needed for more than 200 cats

Many were left abandoned

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - They're cute and fuzzy, and they really need a home.  The Vancouver Orphaned Kitten Rescue Association is dealing with way more cats than this time last year.

President Karen Duncan says they rescued more than 200 cats last month.  "We got in 45 cats and kittens from one home where they had gotten out of control."

Others were kittens from homeless cats or they had been abandoned.

Some of Duncan's volunteers rescued two kittens from a bag in a dumpster in Yaletown, their eyes hadn't opened yet and they had to be bottle fed.

She says some of the kittens and cats still need to be nursed back to good health, but most are friendly, cuddly, and looking for a good home with a lot of overdue love.

Duncan explains owners need to be responsible enough to learn about getting their pet spayed or neutered, and get it done as soon as possible.
