You can't fight Kitty Hall - but why would you want to?
To help raise awareness of shelter animals and boost adoptions, Seattle's mayor has held the second annual Kitty Hall event, and it was a rousing success.
The mayor hosted a dozen kittens in the offices of City Hall, and invited the public in to meet them. Lines were around the block for the opportunity to play with the kitties. Mayor Ed Hall worked with Seattle Animal Control to help adopt the kitties and sign up more people to provide foster homes to animals in need.
Seattle shelter director Don Jordan commented that cats are the perfect addition to City Hall, because "They stand firm on their beliefs and fight hard for what they want, though they are known to ignore their constituents if it suits them."
