First of all that girl on the phone said a very nasty thing. He is not depressed because of what you did! I think thats just plain terrible what she said and that is NOT the way of shelter work. Some people have to give up their pets for very legitimate reasons. I would let someone know at the shelter what she said to you. It deters people from adopting again as well as people placing their animals in good care while they wait for a new furrever home.

As for Oliver. You did the right thing. I know you don't feel you did but you have. He needs a one cat place. I would do what the others suggested with newspaper adds, vet clinics and talking to people about him.

You are a wonderful meowmie. Don't ever forget that!
