 LETHBRIDGE:  Animal adoptions from the Lethbridge Animal Shelter have been temporarily halted due to an illness affecting cats at the shelter.

A number of felines at the facility have been affected by a respiratory disorder, prompting a veterinarian to recommend all adoptions be halted and no new cats are being admitted to the shelter for the next week.

Among the 34 cats currently housed at the shelter, ten have been affected. Those animals have been vaccinated, isolated from other cats and are being treated with antibiotics.
