Local animal shelter, groups overwhelmed by overpopulation

The Hart County Humane Society has been overwhelmed with over 200 cats this kitten season, and is no longer able to help rescue any animals as of press time Wednesday. Volunteer Donna Madkiff urges the public to consider volunteering, fostering or adopting and to spay/neuter their animals.
