blue eyed white kitten needs help at animal control needs home asap

**doolittleky** · 08-15-2006, 04:44 PM

This is a message I received from Lizzie. these kittens needs help NOW if not they will be killed jsut like caspurr and Purrl's sister was. Please someone go get these babies now.Situation dire in white kitten shelter

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just got off the phone with the shelter in Illinois which has the white kitten. She has been to the vet and received worming and flea treatment. The vet said she didn't need antibiotics.

She will be euthanized if the shelter has to take in any more cats, and that is going to happen by sometime tomorrow. The fabulous grey kittens, who have been there the longest apparently, will be euthanized tomorrow also.

In order to rescue these kittens, someone has to physically collect them tomorrow. The shelter has no foster resources and no other place to put them. They are open 8am-3pm, Tuesday-Friday, and there is only one full-time person working there.

Tracy - can you do it? I know it's asking an awful lot of you, but it is their very last chance at life. We'll post a virtual collection can on PetTalk, I can send something. I'll pay the adoption fees for the white kitten and the two grey ones.

Hoping for the best. Thank you for any help.

I PM'd tracy....I have some funds I can donate if it will cover her gas costs...

I've already found someone at work who wants the white kitten, and I know the two grey ones would be adopted from me in a very short time. Problem is, we still might not get them out in time. Reachoutrescue is willing to go the shelter, but she's at work tomorrow and the shelter closes at 3pm. The shelter manager was adamant that she had nowhere to put kittens temporarily even when they were paid for and adopted. I really don't know what is going to happen. So many of us have our arms out for these kittens but the style of the shelter is against us - though I know the manager would be thrilled if she could spend one day not euthanizing kittens. If anyone looked on the shelter site to see the other cats available, the very young white female (an absolute beauty) who was there yesterday was euthanzed last night. I was thinking of taking her as well as the white kitten, but I was too late by half a day.

I can't understand why the shelter manager can't keep the kittens a day when you have them adopted and paid for and we have someone who can pick them up. Can't she combine the kittens into cages to leave room for the ones who come in? Seems to me she just isn't cooperating and it is easier just to kill them. Why does she even bother listing them on petfinder if she isn't willing to be flexible when people want them? This is making me very upset.

She does combine them, Melissa. She only has 7 large cages and they get full very quickly. I'm more upset with the attitude of the people who use the shelter. They don't neuter or spay and then call the shelter to trap all the nuisance cats. Since they don't neuter or spay, they don't adopt either. Considering the work she is forced to do, it's good for her sanity that she remains level headed. When I asked her if they used the needle for euthanasia and not gas, she said she couldn't cope with using gas and she was horrrifed that it was used in shelters.

**doolittleky** · 08-15-2006, 07:13 PM

Maybe she could save more if she had moer cages. I don't know. I am just so frustrated. Here at least one of them has a home and you willing to take the grya ones and tracy willling to foster the other five and the lady can't keep them one more day until they can be picked up.
