When I read things like this, it makes me furious! People threaten w/putting the cat to sleep if we don't solve their problem for them. A friend of mine fell for the line of 'my son has allergies'. Right. The real reason was that the cats developed medical problems and the people didn't want to deal w/it or the expense, so they threatened to have the cats PTS if my friend didn't take them. Well, he took them and got them taken care of medically and it wasn't that big of a deal. People who emotionally blackmail others should face some sort of legal penalty. I realize that it's wishful thinking on my part. Nothing will ever happen to these people because cats are less thought of than dogs even. They're all possessions in the government's eyes. I've alerted my friends here in OH but the problem here is the same as it is everywhere, overpopulation. And people are stretched to the max, myself included. This is a real shame and if I had the people in front of me that are giving this cat away, well, never mind.
