On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me a feline from the Humane Society.

The Humane Society of Freeborn County and the Albert Lea Animal Shelter is filled to capacity and the animals are in need of forever homes.

The spotlight this year is on older cats, though the shelter has many kittens and dogs as well.

For information on adopting any of these animals, contact the Humane Society at 373-7501 or check their website at www.hsffc.org.

The shelter is located in Frank Hall Park.
