GETTYSBURG, Pa. (CBS) -- Two weeks ago, the SPCA animal shelter in Adams County, Pennsylvania, was filled to the brim with cats and dogs.
But as of Saturday, the shelter is almost completely empty, except for one kitty that came in as a stray a short time ago.
The shelter says this must be a Christmas miracle, because it's the first time in 47 years that the shelter is empty-- let alone at this time of year.
This year alone, the SPCA adopted out almost 600 animals and reunited 125 strays with their owners.
By clearing the shelter, this enables the rescue to pull animals from other rescues across the state and save more lives.
And to all those dogs and kitties out there this Christmas enjoying their new families...Meowy Christmas to all and a Woofy new year!. »
