The Henry County Humane Society-Geneseo Shelter is at full capacity. The local shelter currently is a temporary home to nearly 100 kittens and cats who are hoping to soon find forever homes.

Linda VanDerLeest, a HCHS board member, said the Humane Society has about 100 cats and kittens and could use the help of the community to adopt, foster or make donations of scent-free cat litter or kitten food as well as monetary donations for the medical needs of the kittens and cats.

“We have cats and kittens of all sizes and colors,” VanDerLeest added. “Because of the large number of cats and kittens, the shelter also welcomes volunteers who would like to provide enrichment or just simply play with them.”

The first step in volunteering is to complete an application which is available online at https://www.henrycountyhumanesociety.org.

Guidelines are in place for adoption, foster care, visitors and volunteers. For more information, contact the Geneseo Shelter at 309-944-4868.
