KILL "SHELTER" !!! I am writing this through tears...

KILL "SHELTER" !!! I am writing this through tears of sadness and anger.....June 2nd my neighbor and I took a 2 year old beautiful, healthy, orange kitty (that had been left by her owner) in to get her adopted. We had taken care of her outside for 4 months, but was I moving and wanted her to have a loving home. I filled in a 2 page paper on her personality and how she would be a wonderful indoor/ outdoor cat , would not be good around children, but was sweet to adults. I cried while I was there and told them I loved her, but wanted better for her, stating I wanted them to call me if she didn't get adopted in time. We spent some time loving on her before we left. They assured me that I could keep up with her progress and adoption so I went home. I took time to check every day to look for her with the reference number they gave me.....fast forward to today, June 18th I call to see why she wasn't in the system yet, only to be told they euthanized her due to "aggressive behavior"!!!! I am literally sick to my stomach and so mad at myself for trusting in this place!!! I WILL NEVER trust this place again ....my first time ever using them and DEFINITELY MY LAST!!! This kitty lived among all of our apartment tenants for 4 months, was loving and calm, and did not deserve to be put down! My number is on that paperwork and she deserved to be given a chance, even if you were to full to accommodate her or whatever your problem is! Literally SICK to my stomach!!!
