I got an e-mail from someone I was friends with up until 2 years ago. We had been friends since the first grade, well one (of several) reasons I no longer wanted to be her friend was her lack of respect for animals. She had many cats who were allowed to roam (despite living on a very busy highway). Of coase almost none of them were spayed or neutered. So they of coarse continued to multiply & in breed. Her husband would sell the kittens to a local pet shop, and when they got too many adults would load them into cardboard carriers & dump them at the door of their human society. Why I never called the authorities is beyond me, but I didn't. Well I haven't talked to her in 2 years. She and her husband have been living with her mom and I got an e-mail this morning saying they are looking to buy a house, but need to find homes for the kitties because there are too many (well duh). She wanted to know if the shelter I volunteer for had room. Well it's still kitten season and we are full and have a waiting list. I responded and told her this and that she could call and get on the waiting list.
The more I sit here and think about this the more angry it makes me. I think it takes a lot of guts to let your animal numbers get out of control and then when you don't want them anymore contact someone who you haven't spoken to in 2 years to try and get help. These situations in general make me mad because my Jordan is probably dieing of cancer and I would give the world to save him, but people with healthy cats just don't want them because they are not convinent. It just make me angry!
