Hopkins County Humane Society loses roof during storms

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Some animal shelters have announced the Hopkins County Humane Society (HCHS) suffered some damage from the April 2 storms.

Partner shelters with the HCHS say the Madisonville-based humane society lost a roof and now needs to send some cats to other shelters. Pictures shared by both the Vanderburgh Humane Society (VHS) and It Takes a Village (ITV) indicate HCHS has lost its roof and needs to relocate some cats.

ITV says HCHS “urgently” needs to relocate all 85 of its cats. The VHS says it took 20 cats from HCHS. The HCHS says that at this time, it does not need any volunteers as it must assess the situation first. The HCHS says it will let people know when it needs assistance via social media.

The HCHS says due to damage to its facility from Wednesday night’s storms, it will be closed on April 3.
