The 47 cats were flown from Texas to New Bedford on Saturday and will soon be available for local adoption. SALEM, MA — Nearly four dozen cats that were rescued from an overrun Texas animal shelter will be available for forever home adoption this week. The 47 cats arrived at New Bedford Regional Airport on Saturday and were then taken to the Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem to complete their 48-hour quarantine and receive any necessary veterinary care. The cats were brought from an overcrowded shelter in Texas to New England where it is still much easier to find adoptive homes for most pets than in storm-endangered areas of the South.
