legitimate rescue?

[Karen]

The rules vary from state to state. I would check with Animal Control where you live, and speak to the Better Business Bureau about any other complaints with this group. What they did seems very irresponsible.

Yeah, I was very upset by this. I don't want to continue with them anymore, but I am worried if I give the kittens back they might end up sick again and suffering. Thanks so much though, I will contact Animal Control tomorrow.

I agree with Karen, that is very irresponsible.

The rescue I volunteered with was a feral cat rescue. So we knew any kittens were coming in from the wild and hadn't been vet checked. It was our responsibility as fosters to get them in pronto, for the safety of our own cats, and to get the kittens started on any meds they needed. (The rescue paid for the vetting, we had a list of pre approved vets to use.) Someone would phone and make sure we were doing OUR part, getting the kits checked and started on their shots.

Leaving a kitten in a box and "if it dies, it dies" is neglect at a minimum!

Being involved with rescue, foster, and transport. I find it appalling that someone would say “if it dies it dies”. As far as I am concerned this is not a rescue group and should be reported.
EVERY rescue and transport has got to have the vet papers before moving. NONE of the fosters including myself will take in an animal until it has been to the vet and we see the papers.

Things like that make legitimate rescues look bad. Call the authorities and report her. I'll bet any amount of money that she's taking in money and doing nothing to help the animals. She needs to be put outta business. There are far more LEGITIMATE rescues that are all about the animals. She sounds like a hoarder to me. Please, for the sake of the animals, LOOK INTO IT!!!
