Minneapolis Kitty Hall: Vote Online Now

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Kittens and cats from Minneapolis Animal Care and Control will "litter-ally" take over city hall from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 8 for Minneapolis Kitty Hall. All of the cats and kittens will be available "fur" adoption.

Kitty Hall, held in the City Hall Rotunda, 350 S. Fifth St., features multiple "pawsitively" adorable, cuddly kittens.

Six ambitious adult cats will pounce "furr" elected "pawsitions": three "cat-idates" for Kitty of Minneapolis "Meow-or", and three cat-idates for Kitty Council President.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and other city officials will be at the event.

“There is an election coming up and things are getting heated," Frey said.

"Despite pressure to endorse, I will remain neutral in the races for Kitty Council President and Meow-or and withhold comment until the election is over. I would ask all campaigns to remember that, at the end of the day, all candidates for Kitty Council President and Meow-or are committed to furthering the work that Minneapolis Animal Care and Control does to better the lives of our shelter cats."
