I hope you can rest in peace Momma kitty...

Poor momma cat and kittens. I wonder if they tested her first and she had some kind of virus (not that it makes it right, but wondering if they had a "reason" to do it other than just being cruel).

Our Humane Society here does not live up to it's name either. It's very disturbing.

I keep hoping that it was a true euth' because she was sick... like FIV or luk

I highly doubt it though. 1) She looked to be the epitome of health (clear eyes, perfectly wet nose not runny not dry just shiny,) she even had a VERY healthy coat. 2) The three in charge of that stuff at this "shelter" are known to make what we'd consider to be unethical decisions.

And to think... Our shelter is one of the more reasonable in the area. :-/ (They all have their good points and bad points i guess. ...Just there is only one i can truly recommend in Mid-MI... and it's not the local one.) Ours is ho-hum. One moment a decision is made that you want them to get an award for, and the next you're running to the law books hoping to find that what they did is illegal so they can be held accountable. *shakes head in disbelief*

You know... I think that's most of the problem... we don't have any animal welfare group working directly with the shelter (i think they've tried.) The Humane Society here is strictly an educational group. They don't even handle cruelty cases. The other rescues pretty much help stray animals. I've seen such a HUGE different in the county facilities where rescues are allowed to come in and help out. (Weather it be helping with public relations or cleaning out the animal pens.)

ooops... I'm hijacking my own thread.

That poor kitty and her babies. From the person who left them at the shelter, to the shelter workers, sounds like the cats didn't have a chance. I had always thought of animal shelters trying to help animals get adopted, but this sure gives a different view. Rest in peace Momma Kitty and babies.
