At times when space is a problem, there are temporary cages set up in halls, offices, meeting rooms, etc. There is also a strong foster network to take cats and dogs out of the shelter into homes, if needed, for whatever reason, temporarily.
Also, adoption "events" are increased with staff and volunteers taking cats and dogs to lots of places where there is a lot of people.
Sometimes there are "specials" that reduce the price of the animals, and lots of advertising is done to get the word out on that.
Right now there are a number of empty cages, but I'm sure there are a lot of kittens in foster care, and they will be coming in. Kittens get adopted, though, with rare exceptions (usually black ones
)
As far as prosecuting the abandoners, who knows who they are? And besides, these shelters are run and staffed by caring, compassionate people who just want to help the animals, and the people. They wouldn't waste their time and energy on that.
