PLATTSBURGH -- As Plattsburgh City Police continue searching for homes for 11 recently seized cats, officials posted their photos online, hoping to draw more local interest.
Anyone interested in providing a permanent or temporary placement for the young cats -- three males, five female cats and three nursing kittens -- can see their photos on the police Web site: http://plattsburghpd.net.
There's an animal-adoption link on the homepage where anyone interested can see individual snapshots of the felines.
Each one has been evaluated and treated at a local veterinarian's office and is ready for adoption.
Chief Desmond Racicot hopes area residents can provide them homes because the city can no longer cover their housing expenses and the only other option is having them euthanized, since area shelters are full.
The cats have not been neutered but are in good condition after recently being found living without adequate care inside a Margaret Street apartment complex.
Officials had already received numerous inquires about the cats, but they were all still available as of midday Friday.
For more information about the cats, contact City Police at 563-3411.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.
Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.
Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.
We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.
Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:
There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.
Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.
Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.
Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)
Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”
Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.
Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.
Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.
In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.
Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.
We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.
