I began rescuing full time in 2009 because my then boyfriend worked for a veterinarian. I just couldn't not help! So many are put down unnecessarily- this 50 year old woman came in with a gorgeous 2 year old Persian. I was there surprising my bf with lunch, waiting for him to finish with a patient. This disgusting female was yelling at the vet to put her cat down. The reason? He was using the bathtub to urinate and defecate.
He was in absolute perfect physical health.
As much as the vet and assistant tried to explain to try a new litter, move the litterbox etc- this woman wouldn't budge. The vet then said firmly, "this is why I warned you against declawing. You should never have taken him for that procedure, which we never do because just think how messed up in the head you'd be if you awoke from sleep with your fingers amputated at the third knuckle?
Another vet pulled that vet out and pointed at me. I nodded.
The vet "reluctantly" told the woman she would perform the euthanasia. The woman filled out the necessary paperwork and the vet told her she would do it after she took care of her waiting appointments. Woman left. Vet gifted me the almost $400 for the "procedure" for my rescue.
I went to the clinic to bring lunch and left with a kitty :) I figured out his preferred litter and box placement over the next few weeks and found a perfect home for him :)
Rescuing has certainly left me jaded against some people...
OMG. People like that should be put down. That is horrible!. I don't mean that of course but putting an animal down for any other reason other than the animal is terminally ill, uncurable and in severe pain is an absolute horror. Thank God for people such as yourself. :) I am going to go read that post of yours now.
would you like to be my friend. I already added you to my list. I like to think I post some well thought out posts. If you like here is one I just put up. If you want to read it, that would be great too. Anxiety Attacks!! .

I had the same thought while listening to her! That she should be put down.
Just sayin ;)
