I think just about all our shelters are kill shelters. In the shape Cheech was in yesterday, they would have just took him in the back and PTS. I live 2 Parishes away (Parish = counties every other state except in La. they are called Parishes) so it is not where I can run over and get the kitty or really do any good finding it a good home with people here or run it to the vet. I just happened to have went yesterday to take my kitties since it is time for me to go back to work and that was the day they found him in their yard...

Dusty's people both work so there is no one there to take him to a vet, even if they had the money to do it and neither work close to home where they could run it to the vet on their lunch hour (even with $$$$). I don't think there are any rescue groups in that area, the closest being in Baton Rouge and they will not take them from other Parishes. It is a no win situation for the kitty unless we can find him a home on our own and I WILL be going back to work Tuesday so there is not much I can do from here in 1 day.. Tomorrow I will have to go pick up rental car and start shutting up my house, get to bed early and leaving out in the wee hours Tuesday morning.

Like he said, they already have 5 cats in their house the 28 days I am gone with up to 9 kids at a time under the same roof... They are already overloaded. It is just sad for the kitty. When he gets better, he will end up having to go back outside if they can not find him a home somewhere.
