Ooopps..I thought it was a no-kill shelter! I'd have a hard time being there then unless I was doing transporting to other shelters that have space. Different story then. Poor cats with a time limit hanging over them, and kitten season upon us all.
Actually when I was talking to them about volunteering I told them I would want to do things to help get the animals into rescues and no-kill shelters. They told me they do work closely with rescue groups but mainly for dogs. They also told me that they really don't take in a lot of cats, mostly dogs, so it's not often that they've had to put a cat down due to lack of space but it doesn happen and usually in the spring. Apparently for dogs it's a different story though. I couldn't handle that. For a shelter though, it was extremely clean and the people there seemed to really care.
