Happy Endings No Kill Shelter:

All adult cats are spayed or neutered before being adopted. We currently place an average of 200 cats per year. All potential adopters must fill out an application and go through an interview process. Adoption facilitators walk potential adopters through the shelter and help them find a cat that will touch their heart and fill an empty space in their home and life.
