A kitten lounges in the cat room at the Franklin County Animal Shelter Wednesday, Aug. 17. The kitten doesn’t yet have a name, but is waiting for a forever home like the more than 70 other cats currently at the Franklin County Animal Shelter. A staff member said kitten season, which starts around the middle of the year, is her favorite time of year because they are so full of life and love. The Franklin County Animal Shelter is open from noon to 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Kay Neufeld/Franklin Journal
