How would you like to start off 2025 with a new friend, one that has four legs, a rough tongue, purrs, and is extremely furry?

The Sioux Falls Humane Society can help make that happen.

Dakota News Now is reporting that the Humane Society is at full capacity when it comes to cats, and all these kitties are looking for some big-hearted, loving humans to welcome them into their homes.

To borrow a line from the Steve Martin motion picture, The Man With Two Brains..."Get That Cat Out of Here!" That's what the Sioux Falls Humane Society is asking Sioux Empire residents to help them do right now, in the most loving way possible, of course.

According to Dakota News Now, the Humane Society has over 90 cats available at this time, with another 160 just waiting to go up for adoption. So, as you can see the need for cat lovers to step forward and help take home these little sweeties is significant at the moment.

The Sioux Falls Humane Society wants to remind residents that deciding to adopt one of these animals in need can make a huge difference in the pets' lives.

Every one of these animals has a unique story, and so much love to give, they just need someone special to help make that a reality.

So, if you've been thinking about getting a furry friend, now would be the perfect time.
