I'm very sad to have to post this review after always recommending AAC to clients. I'm a veterinarian technician at a local animal hospital who recently had an owner surrender their overweight 12 year old cat in leau of euthanizing it since the doctors felt she was not a candidate for this. I told her I could reach out to AAC and ask for help, seeing as I would cover medical expenses to deal with her current uti and weight loss. When I called AAC to discuss options they used the exact words "you should euthanize her. " And tried to explain that response with "well cats just don't do well in shelters". I understand this as I have spent a few years working at a shelter prior to being a tech, but I also know this cat has a good chance at finding a home due to her amazing personality and laid back demeanor. I also understand that we are in a pandemic with covid but at what point is it okay for a "No kill" shelter to tell me to kill a cat that is not medically ready? And at what point and age is a cat no longer of importance to enjoying thier life.
