That %$#&*@ shelter did it AGAIN!!!!

**moosmom** · 11-08-2003, 03:24 PM

I went to the shelter today to visit Baby Sara. There is a note on her chart "DO NOT PTS" as well as my name and phone number in case this chick gets needle happy again.

I also talked to Courtney who told me the whole story. She said after I left, once giving Elaine a new a#$hole, she ran around DEMANDING to know who told me. Courtney admitted it and said that she didn't feel one bit apprehensive about telling me the truth. She told Elaine she wasn't going to lie for anyone at that shelter. Elaine didn't say one word to me. I told Courtney I was sorry that she took it out on her, but she said she understood, especially since the episode with Carrie.

The bad news is my friend Cathy who is the Vet Tech who runs the nursery has given her 2 weeks notice. She said she can't deal with the euthanization of all the animals. The GOOD news is Courtney will be taking her place. So I know I still have a friend in the nursery to watch after Baby Sara.

Baby Sara knows me and meows whenever I walk into the nursery. She's doing very well! I hope she gets a home soon, outta that place!!

Donna-

I suggest you take yourself to another shelter and focus your helpful efforts there.
You can't beat your head on a brick wall for long without starting to feel it.

There are a lot of deserving kitties out there.

It was hard for me to understand why our rescue was breaking ties with Hillsborough Animal Services when I got so many nice cats from there, including my loving Bella. But, it wasn't their practices, it was the overload of shelters asking us to take cats and other things I couldn't understand. I just kept on thinking of all the ones we'd lose from there. But, there are other deserving kitties elsewhere too.
We shouldn't have to fight for them, they should gratefully hand them to us folks involved in rescue, it lowers their numbers. I wouldn't think we'd have to become that involved in the inner politics of the shelter.
Right now, I feel the less I know the better for my mental health, and I can concentrate on the ones I do get.

Rose

Godspeed to the bridge little ones, sorry you never had a chance.

DISGUSTING!!!!!

I am with PayItForward and Bastet's Mum. Surely, what she is doing contrevenes the rules ... isn't there some way for her to be disciplined?

Unfortunately I just now saw this thread Donna. I am so sorry that this hateful woman has destroyed so many lies. How awful.
If you can get an email addy or snail mail addy let me know, I wouldn't mind giving her a peice of my mind also, so these kitties and other animals do not die in vain.

This brought tears to my eyes donna, this woman has no place running a shelter, as everyone else said she has no compassion, try and get her replaced if you can, I am so terribly sad for you, how heartbreaking, YOU are the person who should be running it, you are indeed a wonderful person, with all the right qualities.
