ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER IS MUSICAL, TELLS THE STORY OF A MAGICAL NIGHT WHERE A TRIBE OF CATS ARE INVITED TO A BALL TO THEN WAIT TO SEE WHO WILL BE CHOSEN TO BE REBORN.

REALISTICALLY, WE CAN GET UP TO 30 TO 50 EMAILS AND MESSAGES ON OUR FACEBOOK A DAY FROM PEOPLE TRYING TO REHOME CATS OR THEY FOUND A CAT. THEY CAN’T KEEP IT, OR THEIR CAT GOT PREGNANT. THEY GOT KITTENS. IT’S VERY OVERWHELMING. AMY ROSELLA, WHO YOU JUST HEARD THEIR ADS WITH THE CURRENT CAPACITY, RIGHT? A CAT CAN COME IN TO A SHELTER BUT MAY NOT MAKE IT OUT, BUT TRY IT.
