Our rescue is located in Tampa Florida and we are a small group. We formed two years ago and we are an all volunteer group. At times we rescue puppies, but mostly we rescue cats and kittens as the need is so much higher.
This summer our shelter has been administering euthanasia to knowingly pregnant cats. We were disgusted and had to act fast to save as many as we could. But sadly, we cannot save them all.
We understand and agree with euthanasia of a gravely ill or injured animal to be the humane thing to do. However, for space or to prevent an unwanted litter, we do not agree with.
So I ask my fellow cat rescuers and readers, What is your input on euthanasia of a pregnant cat that is a stray or at the shelter?
