While Julie was upfront about the cats, I did not know that she was this bad of a biter. Had I known she was this aggressive with humans as well as with other cats, I don't know that I would have accepted this task. I thought, well, she nips, how bad can it be. I never went to look at old threads about Ally, and did not know her background.
I do feel badly for Ally. She can't help the way she is... I think that it is just her way of behavior. I also believe that Julie loves these cats very much, which is why, to me, euthanasia is not a choice for me. Ally has been someone's pet, and one that has been loved (psycho kitty or not...) and I just can't handle the thought of me putting her to sleep. She's not physically sick. Mentally, if cats can be mentally sick, I believe she is. It's like dealing with a split personality, or schizophrenia, but in a cat.
I'm going to try Animals in Distress, which is a no kill sanctuary. It's a brand new facility, and is only about 20-30 minutes away. Their old facility I thought was a hell hole, but the new one is just lovely. I'd like to live there, lol!
So, will keep you updated, as this has to move fairly fast. Sigh. The boys from upstairs are now at the shelter. And, just for the record, we are not allowed to board cats at our shelter. First, Ally is aggressive, and 2ndly, boarding cats could lose us our non-profit license. So, that is not an option.
