The no kill shelter where I'm volunteering has done very well taming down some ferals and found them good homes but they have one REALLY wild lady that is not going to socialize. They brought her in, put her in a cage and attempted to work with her. Within a few days she was very sick. They couldn't even medicate her until she was so sick that she didn't have as much fight in her. I sat down by the cage and talked to her for awhile and she barely lifted her head and looked me in the eye and I knew that she did not want to live. It was pure sadness and it broke my heart. I went and talked to the director and was so glad to hear her say that they knew she would never be socialized and that the shelter is killing her. She said we are looking for a farm with a barn that will be willing to take her and keep food out for her. She will have shelter, food and freedom. I hope they find it for her soon.
I was already very pro TNR but after seeing her I became an advocate!!
