Newly Adopted Cats Pose With Forever Families [Photo Gallery]

About 20 cats, including those rescued from a hoarder situation, were adopted during the Town of Huntington Cat Shelter's first adoption event of the year.

More than 17 kittens were adopted, while three adult cats also found their forever homes on Saturday, March 31. (scroll down for adoption photos)

Two kittens with special stories also found their forever homes at the event: a blind kitten named Jessica and a blind kitten with frostbitten ears named Matt Murdock.

"Jessica's story is amazing; we had just opened when a Good Samaritan showed up with her," David Ceely, Town of Huntington Cat Shelter's Executive Director, said. "Her eyes had never developed and she needed them surgically closed to prevent infection. Jessica has been such a trooper; she's totally outgoing and affectionate."

There are still many cats and kittens available for adoption, the shelter says.

"This was a huge success; we had so many people coming through that families had to wait to get into the building," David Ceely, Town of Huntington Cat Shelter's Executive Director, said. "Everyone was excited to see our available kittens and it was so great that our adult cats got plenty of attention too."

The Town of Huntington Cat Shelter is located at 104 Deposit Road in East Northport.
