Alabama NewsCenter — Shelby Humane’s no-kill shelter found ‘forever homes’ for more than 1,400 cats and dogs in 2021

A couple of cats can produce a litter that, over the course of the next six years, can balloon to 70,000 offspring if none of them are ever spayed or neutered. It’s part of the battle facing animal shelters across Alabama, including Shelby Humane in Columbiana.

The staff of 43 is awaiting the annual spring influx of puppies and kittens, when the facility may swell to 600 animals needing health care and boarding until they are adopted. Shelby Humane is a “no-kill” shelter, with a 97% live release rate in 2021.
