Yes, that's exactly what she should have done. When I was actively involved in rescue, I called shelter after shelter, even in other states and was turned down because they were filled to capacity. That meant that I had to work even harder to find quality, permanent homes for the cats that I had rescued. Because she was running a shelter and she wasn't just an individual who helped stray cats, she had the legal and moral responsibility to do the right thing for those cats and that meant saying "no" when she was full. To not have a competent staff to help her from the beginning spelled failure for her efforts and illness and death to so many cats. If there are no legal consequences to her for this situation, she may feel that she can open another "shelter" again and we can only assume that, given her past performance, she will probably do the same thing again. As I've already said, I'm no person's judge but I am a realist and someone who has 500 or 700 or whatever the number is of cats, has got to realize that one person cannot handle that load alone. C'mon!
