“Any time we take in a large influx of animals, it puts a burden on our shelter capacity,” Hall County Animal Services Director Trey Garcia said. “We want to continually encourage adoptions, to ensure we have space available for these types of intake situations.”

Officials added that some of the cats will be housed at Petco in Cumming and some will go to PetSmart in Flowery Branch.
