One of the kittens currently looking for a home is Antonio, a 10-week-old kitten who was found in Broward County and brought to the shelter after the person who found him was unable to keep him.

Matthew Seligman with the Humane Society of Broward County said the shelter has many young cats available for adoption right now as community cats continue to have litters during the summer months.

Seligman also reminded residents about the importance of spaying and neutering pets to help reduce the number of homeless animals in the community.

The Humane Society of Broward County offers public spay and neuter services, though appointments are required and can fill up quickly.

Anyone interested in adopting Antonio or another kitten can visit the shelter and complete an application either in person or ahead of time.

Shelter staff say the process typically takes just a few minutes, and adopters can often take their new pet home the same day if the animal is already spayed or neutered.
