I went to the shelter today to pick up Leslie's new kitten. I called the shelter 3 times today to get an update on Carrie. The last I heard, she was doing better. I was very encouraged. Today, no one had any answers.

When I got to the shelter, I was told that they "pulled your cat". When I asked what that meant, Heather said Carrie was put down. I was not only shocked but furious and devastated. Why didn't someone call me??? I would've picked her up after work and brought her home with me!!! She didn't deserve to die.

Heather's justification??? "I was up to my eyeballs in kittens and needed the cage space." "No one is going to adopt a 14 year old cat."

Carrie certainly didn't deserve to die because of their @#$%^ cage space problems!!! I wanted her!!!

I am officially done at the shelter. I am keeping Fawnie (God only KNOWS what they would've done to her!) I know they are overwhelmed there. But I was willing to foster her!



Today just plain sucks. I will be making MY donation in Carrie's name to a different animal organization. It's the least I can do for a precious old furlady who wasn't given the chance to prove how much she could love someone.

I'm SO sorry Carrie. I tried. Please forgive me for not being there when you were forced to the Rainbow Bridge. I DID love you so!!
