NEWPORT — Like many animal shelters, the Carteret County Humane Society (CCHS) has been inundated this summer with cats and kittens, especially feral felines.
“We are overrun with cats and kittens right now,” CCHS Shelter Manager Rachel Hardin said July 17. “We can’t keep up. People just need to spay and neuter their cats.”
