So I am trying not to think about that, but to concentrate on getting Tahlee 100% better. I wish there was more I could do, but if they are refusing to do anything about it, there isn't much I can do

I'm sorry they are so rude. It really impacts the treatment of the kitties! Maybe later you can give them a written complaint, so the manager will be aware of this issue. I totally understand that sometimes a kitty seems fine when adopted, but develops an illness. Or the adoptive family watches the cat more closely than shelter staff, so pick up on an existing illness. But to be told that an animal that just left the facility is critically ill, and do nothing is reprehensible.


I'm glad Tahlee is better. She is a lovely kitty, and I'm sure your adopting her and intervening medically saved her life! Kudos to you!!!

I'm so glad to hear that she's doing better. She's a little sweetie, and looks so much like Rascal! I would be upset about the shelter's reaction, too

Thanks. Even though it has cost me a fortune and has been really hard, I am still so glad she picked me. The worst thing about this shelter experience.....it was the manager I was speaking to in the end I found out, so unfortunately I don't hold out much hope for them or the kitties there

But then, when I went there to adopt her, they were as nice as pie.......so maybe it'll be ok......

Thank goodness Tahlee picked you just when she needed someone on her side. I wouldn't like to think what would have happened if she'd gotten sick at that shelter.

Give her extra cuddles for me, and I hope she continues to feel better. She's gorgeous!
