A friend of mine posted a link in my cat forum, it's about a non-killing shelter in Oregon that had to shut down due to an outbreak of panleukopenia, and most of the kittens and cats there have been killed now.
The sad story behind this is that my friend had adopted two cats from there who got terribly ill a couple of days later. Before that happened, she has brought a stray from her backyard and her kittens to that shelter for adoption and for a better chance, and the mommy cat has most likely been pregnant again.
Now she's feeling bad for these kitties because she thinks they would have been better off as strays and that she has turned them over to their death now!AND she's also fearing for her two resident cats who have been NOT vaccinated against panleukopenia as she found out when she checked their certificates. She has believed they have been vaccinated.
I'm feeling so terribly sorry for her - and for all those poor kitties who have lost their lives! It's so sad!
