Pet lovers can get a two-for-one deal when they adopt cats or kittens at Broward's county-run animal shelters. The county commissioners this week agreed to waive the additional adoption fee when someone takes a second cat, a $74.95 value!

And if you act now: You receive, as a bonus, the satisfaction of giving a home to companion animals facing bad odds. Shelters are seeing a huge increase in surrendered cats. Last year, only 520 kitties of the 5,549 brought to Broward's county shelters had stories with happy endings.
