Bowling Green, KY, September 24, 2026 — The Humane Society for Logan County, located in Russellville, Kentucky, is currently facing significant challenges due to severe overcrowding. The shelter is reported to be operating at 200% of its normal capacity, with a large number of cats and kittens contributing to the strain on its resources.

In response to this critical situation and to prepare for upcoming renovations, the organization has announced a special adoption event. The event, titled “Pay What You Can,” is scheduled to run from September 27th through October 3rd.

The primary goal of this initiative is to encourage community members to adopt animals from the shelter. To facilitate adoptions, the Humane Society is offering flexible adoption fees. Potential adopters are invited to contribute whatever they are able to, or to donate needed supplies to support the animals.

Information regarding specific donation items or monetary contribution ranges was not detailed in the provided summary. Similarly, the timeline for the upcoming renovations and the expected impact of the adoption event on shelter capacity were not specified. The contractor’s name involved in the renovations was also not provided.

The shelter hopes this event will provide much-needed relief by finding permanent homes for its current residents and by clearing space ahead of planned facility improvements. Community support through adoptions, flexible fees, or supply donations is being sought.
