Oh, p.s. to my last message- the local shelter called back & the "administrator" there encouraged me to take her to our vet monday & have mamakat put down.
Payitforward, I don't believe there ARE any non-kill shelters. They all SAY no-kill----"unless...yadayadayada"
If mamakat seems to be suffering, if she cries or goes off of her food, we will make the trip to the emer. vet regardless of the cost. we spent over 4,000.00 last year in vet bills- mainly for our flashypants- who was in the i.c.u. at the U of M vet hospital for three days with a "fever of unknown origin".
I'll keep you all posted.
