June 1, 2023 (San Diego) -- June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, and this year it is more important than ever for San Diego Humane Society to get the word out about adopting a feline friend. With a total of 1,310 cats in care, the organization is at 175% capacity for cats.

One of the many reasons the organization is so full includes a recent case where 58 cats were rescued and brought to the shelter from a home in City Heights. The cats were found living in deplorable conditions inside a house in the 2,300 block of Modesto St. They were rescued by San Diego Humane Society’s Humane Law Enforcement on May 5, 2023 after a neighbor reached out for help.
