Feline overload: More than 100 cats are up for adoption at the Humane Society of the Ochocos

 BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- A recent large-scale cat rescue has left nearly 100 cats up for adoption in Prineville.

The Humane Society of the Ochocos stepped forward to care for the cats after their owner moved out of the state. 

These adorable feline friends are mostly barn and outdoor cats.

Volunteers originally thought there were only about 30, but after days of trapping, the number quickly surpassed 100.

Rosi Gray, a volunteer with the Humane Society, told our media partners at the Prineville Review:

“We have absorbed 100 cats. We're working really hard to get them into barn homes. We always need ranches, farms, who need 'cat workers,' I call them, who take care of the mice population. We need homes for these cats."

 While these cats are up for adoption at no charge, the shelter still bears the costs of spaying and neutering surgeries, vaccinations, and medical treatments. 

The Humane Society asks for donations to the shelter, and to consider adopting one or more of these wonderful cats.
