So my cat went missing about 10 days ago iv been contacting shelters and checking their websites nonstop today i visited the 5 shelters around my area and omg i can not believe how much space is wasted! and the hundreds of animals being killed for no reason. People are urged to bring their animal to a shelter for what the shelters here hold strays for 3 days before they decide weather to put them down or not wow! if you dont want your cat just release it into a field at least it stands a chance. animal shelters are prisons for animals its miserable and most of them will meet their demise lonly and afraid. I saw so many people at the shelter today surrendering their animals and it just made me sick how irresponsible can you be to take in the animals then all of a sudden decide they are not part of the family anymore. I had to check through the euthanasia lists to make sure my cat wasnt brought in and euthanized after his 3 days! it was awful reading through those lists hundreds of cats mostly under a year. then to walk down the halls and see empty cages so much space were more cages could be put thats just being wasted. They have space to keep so many more animals than they do. Then i asked so what deems a cat unadoptable and she says " well if they are agressive, sick or not friendly like if they wont come out of their box" so if a cat is terrified basically and is hiding its dead! I swear im saving money building my credit buying land and making my own damn shelter.
