I stopped in to the SPCA today to see the kitties. They are full! I was told they are on an "Overflow alert", meaning any cat with a problem who's brought in (doesn't like kids, litterbox issues, etc) will be euthanized within 24 hours of surrender. Lost cats have to be held for 10-14 days by law.
It broke my heart to look at all those kitty faces and wonder who might not be there tomorrow. There were about 10 kittens, one cuter than the next. None of the other 10-15 cats was more than 4 yrs old; most ranged from 6 months to a year.
I know I can't save them all. I may not be able to save any more; I asked about one and when they looked me up in the computer, they said because of the number of cats I already have, they need the manager's approval before I can adopt another. I offered to let the manager come visit my home and see how well my cats live!
My heart is breaking for these poor innocents whose only crime was to be born...
