Remember the Brooklyn woman who ended up with 37 cats in her one-bedroom apartment? Thirty-five of them were confiscated by the ASPCA, and soon one can be yours! "It was costing me a lot of money. I didn't want to throw them out in the street," 53-year-old Kima Brown told the NY Post. "Everyone in the complex has a kitten from me." Animal care agencies are still checking out the cats, but so far they all seem healthy. Just two were returned to their owner, who was happy to have a reprieve, most of all from the sound of cats screeching. "No more," said Graham. "That is it for them. I'm getting too old for this."
Now the ASPCA has released this video; it's a helpful cat-alog if you're planning to adopt.
