Stanislaus Animal Agency
The Stanislaus County Animal Shelter is celebrating five years in its new facility. Adopting out more than a couple thousand animals each year, it proudly boasts that 99% of their dogs leave there alive. But, they've got love for cats too and that's why Nha Nguyen is there. She's checking out a new feature to the animal shelter called Cat City. Here, visitors can purchase a cup of coffee and hang out in a large room built just for the kitties to roam free.
