I live in the northeast, in a very small state with no big city. Our Humane Society is small but very nice. The animals are very well cared for and kept for a very long time. The have special needs cats that they absolutely do not kill. They advertise these kitties on the early morning news and in the newspaper. The place is always clean with plenty of volunteers to take care of and play with all the kitties there. No, not all shelters are the same, but there are good ones out there and lots and lots of cats do get adopted.
As a side note; I had to put the best cat in the world to sleep last summer. She had cancer and got to the point where she was not able to eat. It broke my heart to do such a thing. I was absolutely devastated at her passing. I miss her every single day. I would never, ever do such a thing unless I had no choice, as in my cat suffering as she was. It's a horrible thing to go through. I would never tell anyone to do that.
Jeh, let us know how you're doing.
