CHARLOTTE, N.C. – It’s an effort to pair passengers with potential pets at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.

• Ten kitties are part of the airport's first ever “Kitten Cuddle.”
• CMPD Animal Care & Control currently has more than 250 cats and dogs awaiting adoption.

Ten kitties are part of the airport's first ever “Kitten Cuddle.” It's in partnership with CMPD Animal Care & Control. The airport's initiative aims to spread adoption awareness.

Two cats got adopted on the spot, including one from airport worker Lizabeth Brookhart. 

"I came down this morning and I saw him and I haven't let him go,” she says. 

She’s named her 3-month-old fur baby Otis in honor of her grandfather. 

“It’s saving a life,” Brookhart said. 

Adoption fees for felines are waived due to the high population.
