I took a very sick cat here I found in Fishtown on Saturday. I just could not do it. You can feel it in your gut that most of the animals are hopeless, if surrendered. I wasn't consoled when I spoke to someone. I said I wanted to foster the animal; that I didn't want her euthanized. They said they'd "make a note," but "no guarantees." Not very reassuring, but no fault on ACCT. This place exists for a reason. The fault goes on irresponsible human beings who shouldn't have animals in the first place and/or uneducated human beings who don't know their options. I'm incredibly happy I decided to leave and pay for the cat's care and organize a foster situation rather than have a dead animal on my conscience. I've learned that there are other options, though not as easy, of course. If you call around and agree to foster the animal, many shelters/organizations will assist with vet care and matching the animal in the interim. Sure, it's time-consuming and stressful. I didn't know this initially and ended up paying for the cat's care myself. I think a lot of people think ACCT is the only option. And it is. If you're a person who just wants to wipe your hands clean of responsibility. Do the right thing. Care for the animal. Organize for it, a loving home.
