I clipped some claws this morning. Then I saw a couple looking at the cats/kittens. They recently lost their cat (she disappeared July 4, and hasn't been seen). I brought a number of kittens out for them to hold, and they chose a little tabby girl I had some fears for and was going to volunteer to foster if necessary. Then a girl and her mother came in looking for a kitten; mom wasn't much of a cat person, but the goth-y daughter clearly had plenty of love available. Again, I brought out a lot of kittens, but when I brought out a little black and white runt, it curled up on her neck and she said, "This is my kitten."
A lynx-pointed kitten, in a cage with two siblings, was clearly going downhill all morning. URI, no doubt. She will likely be treated, but she was plainly miserable.
And some folks brought in a dog their neighbors had moved out and abandoned. The poor old girl was dragging a pendulous tumor, but was still a happy, friendly dog. She wagged her tail all the way back to that terrible dark room in the back. RIP.

You do wonderful, magical things at the shelter as a volunteer!!!!! I am sorry about the dog - it was probably a huge lipoma as old dogs get those and they can get massively huge. RIP sweet old girl 
:sobbing: OH no... I can't believe you saw it run off. How could it have survived that :dk:. OH poor little baby.
