Cat adoption event in Calgary a huge success after fees scratched

City officials say there has been an overwhelming response to a cat adoption event so far, scheduled at the Calgary Animal Shelter this weekend. The adoption blitz was organized because the facility was bursting at the seams with nearly 100 felines of all shapes, types, sizes and ages. As an incentive to get people to come in to adopt the animals, officials cut the cost of adoption by 50 per cent. Officials say the event was extremely successful, with over 50 cats adopted in the first 24 hours.
