Pet Populations on the Increase Because of Global Warming

The National adoption organization Pets Across America has reported a 30% rise in the amount of cats and kittens in shelters from 2005 to 2006. Other shelters have also noted an increase of strays, feral, and owned cats. Kathy Warnick, PAA’s president, seems to think this is due to global warming.
