Well I never! We do *not* ship them to other shelters! (<---said in a huffy you-ruffled-my-feathers voice)
The shelter is called Furkids and here is the link.
http://furkids.org/
We actually had over 1,000 cats adopted last year. Sadly we took in more than that so we are always a bit full. The shelter is cage free with large rooms separating the cats in to manageable groups. I have volunteered at a lot of shelters in my time but when this one says no-kill they mean it. One of the cats has been there about 6 years (she is a gorgeous Persian but mean as a snake.) They also have a separate facility for FIV+ cats which are difficult to home. I started out huffy because we actually have had a problem with *other* shelters dropping off FIV+ cats in the dead of night. They know we will take them and then they can still claim to be no-kill. It isn't cheap to house an FIV+ cat so other shelters are keen to move them elsewhere.
Ok, off my soapbox
and sooooorry Wolfy for the itty bitty derail but Macele started it!
(<---blatant attempt to shift blame and also not huffy at all but I have always wanted to use this little emoticon and this is the closest chance I have gotten)
Katniss~~(oh, and should you decide to crush and adopt 3 or more of the kitties/doggies we shelter I will drive them to you personally and throw in some cat/dog treats to boot!)
