Last week owners surrendered four adult cats to JCAC. One, Lolo, a purebred Scottish Fold was only 2 y/o and spayed. A different owner, I believe, turned in a 6 y/o Maine Coon. Our info didn't say if she was spayed or not but she could have been. Then an owner turned in two 15 y/o cats due to allergies. Gaia, a friendly seal point Siamese and Tadra a really nice Torti. She was so sweet when I held her.
I always groan when people turn their older cats into JCAC. I hate to see any animal euthanized, but I really hate to see young, spayed/neutered, purebred or just really cool and nice cats euthanized. It's just craziness.
And right now there are so many cats and kittens in the rescues that normally pull from JCAC, that they are running specials trying to move them so they can save more. See http://www.stlpetrescue.com/.
I worried for Lolo - thinking of the last beautiful Himmie that was euthanized several months ago. Luckily C.A.R.E. stepped up for Lolo. I thought for sure the two 15 y/o cats were doomed. However one of the fosters for Mutts-N-Stuff stepped up and took the two seniors and the Maine Coon. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! And Gaia, pictured here, got adopted right away by someone who had just lost their elderly cat! What a great outcome.
Right now JCAC is again OVERFULL with kittens. Any help would be appreciated. The ventilation of the cat house at JCAC is not good and the unvaccinated usually end up with respitory infections. If anyone has any room, could you pull a few from JCAC?
