Joe Hayes and his wife, Amy, adopted the two cats and several others from the Humane Society because they were concerned about the number of cats killed every month in Lawrence.
According to the Humane Society, 1805 E.19th St., there is an overpopulation of cats. Last month, 139 cats were put to sleep at the shelter.
Jennifer Bohannon, part-time shelter worker at the Humane Society, said that this summer more cats were killed because there was an increase in liters.
Bohannon said another reason was that some students left town without a vehicle.
Joe Haves has adopted several cats from the Lawrence Humane Society.
"They think the cats will be able to survive by themselves," she said.
Bohannon said people didn't pay attention to the reproduction of their cats and then found themselves with a broken tail. The dogs were not able to take care of.
"We try to educate people about it," she said, and some people listen, but others do not.
But Joe and Amy Hayes listened. When they became aware last June that the cats' situation was critical,
they decided to adopt and take care of a few cats until people could adopt them.
The Hayes already found homes for two cats. They now are taking care of five cats. Two of these, Linda and Pintika, stay in the drum shop.
The Hayes have spent about $500,
giving the cats proper vaccinations.
The two cats in the store belonged to Gloria Rola. Rola had to give them up because she couldn't take them with her, so she moved into a local townhouse.
"It's not allowed to have pets in this place," Rola said. "It was difficult to give them up."
Humane Society
"I never wanted to bring the cats (to the Humane Society) because I knew they would be put to sleep," she said.
At Joe's Drum Shop, the cats don't be to wait for death to knock at the door.
when rola neared about Joe's Drum Shop, she decided to take her cats there instead of leaving them at the Humane Society.
But the Hayses said they didn't think it was possible to keep taking cats in due to the heat.
"People come in and play with them," Hayes said. "They also give donations for food — a couple of dollars."
in due to the cue.
"We are just trying to do the best we can," he said. "We are just cat folks."
Joe Hayes said he enjoyed having cats in the store because they created a stress-free environment.
Wunder said cats could have up to two litters a year. Every litter could bring five new kittens.
Betsy Wunder, executive director of Cat Association of Topeka, said pet overpopulation was caused by owners who didn't sterilize their cats.
association was created two years ago and takes care of 65 newborn to middle-aged cats.
The Cat Association is a non-profit shelter that does not kill cats. The
Unselfish financier unwillingly gave city its name
"All the cats are sterilized before they go out," she said. "We make sure they don't repopulate. A lot of people don't value the life of cats."

Amos Lawrence could not avoid the limelight.
Kansan staff writer
But he did not want to be honored for his actions.
He settled what is now the city of Lawrence in July 1854 and donated money to what would become the University of Kansas.
Lawrence was the main financier and treasurer of the New England Immigrant Aid Company of Boston, a company established to bring settlers
Lawrence, who did not visit the town until 30 years after it was named, thought the town needed an Indian name.
The area had been home to the Shawnee and Delaware American Indian tribes for 50 years.
Wakarua was one of the Indian names considered. Other names considered included names inspired by Lawrence's roots in Massachusetts, such as Yankee Town and New Boston.
He had no desire to have the town
A letter was sent to him from settlers asking for name suggestions. But before Lawrence could reply, the people told him to name it after him.
Amos Lawrence Samuel Simpson, a 28-year-old abolitionist from Deerfield, N. H., convinced the people to name the town after its benefactor.
Lawrence could not change the people's minds.
the University, but he also wanted to avoid a lot of attention. He tried to keep secret his $10,000donation to the University.
Lawrence was eager to help finance
"He was ona train to visit, andhead a bad stomach and couldn't get off the train," he said. "Lawrence wanted to honor its namesake, and its namesake didn't feel up to it."
Steve Jansen, director of Watkins Community Museum, recalled an amusing story of Lawrence's one visit to the town.
Judy Sweets, registrar and exhibit coordinator at Watkins Community Museum, said people had named the town in his honor because they were so impressed by the amount of money he donated to the University.
"But he thought that if it was named after him it would promote himself, and he didn't want to appear to have selfish motives," Sweets said.
Sweets also attributed the naming of Massachusetts Street to Lawrence's East Coast background.
"In most towns, the main drag is called Main Street," she said.
When the first 29 members of the Immigrant Aid Company settled in Lawrence, they lived in tents along the Kansas River and on Mount Oread.
The town continued to grow and became a center of the anti-slavery movement. But in 1863, William Quantrill led an army of Confederate guerrillas into town and burned most of the city, killing hundreds of people
The town was rebuilt, and in 1866 the University of Kansas held its first session.
The names of the first 29 settlers are honored along with Almos Lawrence on a plaque at Robinson Park near Eighth and Indiana streets.
