I Cried Today...

**Catty1** · 07-07-2007, 05:57 PM

I went out to do my recycling, and the new Humane Society is next door. I went in for a visit.

The two kitties below had just 'disappeared' from the website, and I asked the receptionist - very nice lady - "They didn't make it?" She shook her head gently. "We're so full," she said.

I know they are...they have advertised...and they are no kill whenever possible, but when kitten season happens, sad and hard decisions have to be made....

Prayers please for these two that were sent to the Rainbow Bridge:

Susie

Gazoo

I went in the first cat room...a black fellow named Bear was out and about - a lovely guy! I looked at the furbabes that I had seen only on the website, and I just started crying. I told them I wished I had a place where I could foster a dozen of them...it would make a huge difference!

The second cat room had about 6 little black kittens - each with a collar with a name on it - running free in the room, terrorizing a long cat tunnel - just non stop psycho kittens! I could not help but cheer up, even though the flood of little guys endangers the older cats.

Mocha and Bailey were there - I opened Mocha's door and gave her chin and tummy rubs and lots of pats! What a lovey girl!

Tears and love...and playing with kittens...what a mix life is, huh?

OMG... what gorgeous kitties... what a shame that they euthanized them! They couldn't have them with the kittens??

I can understand why you cried. I can't even walk in a SPCA without balling, actually I can't even think about this stuff without crying, you had me starting to cry already. It's so sad and I wish I could do something for all these poor animals, I wish I owned a big giant mansion that could be just for all the animals that need loving homes. But unfortunately I don't

Rest in Peace Susie and Gazoo, I am so sorry.

Jenn...I know...these two had been there a long time, and when they run out of rooms, they run out of rooms.

There is a large cage, in addition to the glass walled condos, with a whole whack of kittens in it!

And there is a small write-on-wipe-off sign on the wall with the kitties' names and what time they were allowed the run of the room!

It is SO clean! There is a pet room where individuals are taken to be fed and coddled!

I am adding to my email signatures now. The two links to dog and cat adoptions, and the SPAY NEUTER dealie.

Don't they do fostering at all??? Those poor babies! They both looked like the sweetest kitties. Ugh... I wouldn't be able to go there. Just like the Humane Society here... I can't stand it. It's clean enough, but it smells, and the dog cages just make me so sad. They just look so hard and cold and unfriendly.
