In Ontario, an increasing number of pet stores house rescue pets on a temporary basis. At my local Pet Smart, there's a room of cats, 6 or 7. Mostly cohabitating. And every few days they bring half a dozen more. Those little floofs move fast, even the old ones.

Whenever I'm nearby I go in just to see the cats, but also to see all the "I've been adopted!" signs, that seem to make me feel just a bit better about things.

I certainly wouldn't call the conditions anything less than "acceptable". It's not a palace but they're not caged. They're in a maybe 8x8 room full of cat toys, blankets, water, food, gyms, etc.
