My roommate and I rescued a stray kitten (no more that 5 months old) who was hanging out on our porch a couple nights in a row. She was a sweet, but scared, kitten. Not once did she try to bit, scratch, or hiss at us. We brought her to animal services thinking they would check her out, spay her, and vaccinate her. Then, we had all intentions of adopting her. We dropped her off Saturday. When I called on Monday to ask if she was up for adoption yet, the person I talked to told me that during her evaluation she was determined to be a "bite risk" and the euthanized her. I am extremely upset and disappointed with their decision. Like I mentioned before, this baby did not hiss, bite or scratch us once! So, they must have done something crazy to get this cat to freak out. Again, I am extremely disappointed in their decision and am grieving the loss of a cat I considered a pet and family. If you are an animal lover like myself and find a stray like this one, do not bring it here unless you want it to be euthanized like my poor baby was.
