What a sad, sad story. I can't believe they wouldn't be more helpful and try and get as many kitties back to their owners as possible. Instead it seems like they get some preverse pleasure out of seeing people looking for their beloved pets, not finding them, then finding out they were there all the time and now it's too late. I just don't understand some people.

I'm so sorry this had to happen, but at least you are trying to make something positive come out of it by educating people about this. I would have been like you, and just assumed they told me all the places where the kitty might be. Not being that familiar with shelters, I would have just taken their word for it like you did. But thanks to you and Kuhio, I am one more that has been educated, and will pass the word to everyone I can.

Thanks so much for sharing your story, and the pics. I absolutely loved the pic of Kuhio in your back-pack. It's so cute that she wanted to go everywhere with you and would stay in the back-pack in order to do it.

And a great big WELCOME to PT!!!!

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I love Kuhio's name! It's so beautiful!
