She is scheduled to be put down next week. I am not spending tons of money on equipment (vacuums and air purifiers/ filters that do not work to save a cat when my str is suffering with her allergies and asthma. Yes the cat has been a member of my family however my dtr is a bigger and more important member.

Very few rescues and no-kill shelters take in owner surrenders, as there are SO many in need. Our rescue mainly does TNR, stray and feral cats. My best suggestion is always to find a friend or family member to take in your pet. Or, find a way to keep the pet, as most allergies do not develop overnight and they also are manageable. I am so sorry to hear this, as your cat is truly a member of your family after 8 years. Perhaps with the right tools (there are air sanitizers, etc), medications and separating your kitty, you can make this work. I hate to think of what will happen to her otherwise. Many rescues and shelters will keep her in a cage 24/7, and its not a fair life for her...I hope you can do right by her.

Pat,

My blood is BOILING right about now. I say PUT THE KID DOWN!!!! This woman wants to make absolutely NO effort to make it work. Just, KILL THE CAT. Nice.

I'm sending around a mass email with the information. It is taking everything I have NOT to write this biatch a nasty email. Especially after she went off on the woman from the rescue org. who suggested air purifiers and stuff.

[phesina]

Yeah, and this woman is a nurse.. How'd you like her taking "care" of you if you were really sick?

So many "people" just make ME sick.

[moosmom]

I'd like to know how she's going to explain that to her kid.

I put out a mass email. A LOT of people are really pissed off at this woman.

[phesina]

That's what I was thinking...

She plans to tell the daughter that she's taking HER (daughter's) cat away to be killed, all because of HER (daughter).

[moosmom]

Nice guilt trip to lay on a kid. She's a d-bag (I'm being VERY polite!!)
