If you put your cat in a shelter ran by the county, those shelters are pro-euthanasia shelters. But don't worry; many shelters don't euthanize unless there is probable cause: they are unadoptable because they are too sick or too mean. So it is very likely that your cats will be adopted out. Also, I work at a no-kill animal rescue and we pull cats from the shelter that are nice cats. There are many like organizations that will take cats from local shelters and try and adopt them out. At our rescue, and rescues like us, we will take care of the animal for the duration of their life span should they not get adopted. I'm sorry your step-dad make you give up your cats. But you should have hope that they will be adopted or taken by a no-kill rescue for adoption.
they get destroyed :-(
If they are not a no-kill shelter, they will be euthanized after a certain period of time.
it depends on where they were put...some shelters are no kill shelters which means the animals will stay as long as they need to untill they find a home. Other shelters do i fact euthanize animals, it is hard to say this is ok but it is hard to find another way as there are SOO many animals in this world, but they usuallly will keep an animal for 7 days...
Cats and dogs that are not adopted within 7 days are killed.
The good adoption centers keep them there.
they will kill them... =( (sniff sniff) ='(
if someone doesn't adopt them sometimes if one of the workers get attached to them they will take them home themselves, or they will just stay at the center that you took them too and i hope that they do get adopted into a nice loving family.
Unless you sent them to a no-kill shelter they are usually killed within 2 weeks, due to an abundance of cats being sent to shelters approx 90-95% of cats sent there are put down. Sorry but that is the truth.
It sounds like your stepfather is a jerk. If he claims it is because of allergies he should have tried Claritin (I'm alergic and have 3 cats without any problems). If you ask me anyone who forces someone to give up a pet shows no loyalty or respect towards the people and/or animals they live with.
No-kill shelter = The animal will stay there for as long as it takes to get adopted. My male cat was at one for 7 months before I adopted him. The only exception would be if the animal is terminally ill and is suffering, or if it becomes extremely hostile and/or aggressive and is a danger to other animals or people.
Kill shelter = They each have their own rules and predetermined times regarding how long an animal will stay. Once that time is up, they are euthanized for space. Too many cats and dogs in this world, and not enough homes. It's horribly sad, but in my opinion, much more humane than letting them starve and scrape by on the streets.
I believe most shelters at this time are kill shelters, but a large number are converting to no-kill.
Josie, it depends on the shelter that the cats were taken to. Some places keep pets as long as they need to find homes for them, but I'm afraid not all shelters can do that. They get so many cats and dogs that sometimes the pets have to be put to sleep. (They hate doing it by the way...)
If your kitties are sweet and friendly, they'll probably be adopted pretty quickly though. :-) You might be able to help your cats by posting a message on www.craigslist.com in your city and ask people to go to the shelter and adopt them. Make sure you include the cats' names, a detailed description of what they look like, and the name of the shelter they are at. I'm sorry that you weren't able to keep them.
Most places put them to sleep
well some places put them to sleep thats what I know but yeah if Nobody will adopted the cats or whatever then they will be put to sleep
Well,if they are a no-kill shelter,then they will certainly not kill the cat,but wait until it gets adopted.They might begin to advertise the cat more often,so people will be attempted to adopt it.On the other hand,I am not sure what they will do to it.
