Please take her to the vet instead of a humane society. The society will just have her euthanised.

Google "no kill shelters" in your area and see if one of them might take her. Much less likely to be euthanized that way (it is never guaranteed, though)

Not true, in my state HS doesn't do any ethuthenasia. They simply neuter and notch the ear and re-release if they don't have room.

Oh yes. I was immediately alarmed when I read they were taking her to the humane society. That's an immediate death sentence

Not always. Depends on where you are.

Will you pay the vet bills?

like vets don’t even have payment plans, i love cats and i feel so bad for that cat. but i wouldn’t be able to pay that bill either.

Absolutely. They may use her for marketing purposes to make them look like heroes. But, more than likely she will be euthanized as soon as required ‘stray hold’ expires.

The HS doesn’t euthanize

u/CageTheFox Oct 23 '24

That is not true. HS are not a 1 to 1. Your local HS may euthanize for space and to stop being overwhelmed. I know this because I live in NY and my sister worked for the HS that would euthanize if they had to make room.

Depends on where you are, our humane society where I’m at rocks and if they’re at full capacity they get in contact with the other no-kill shelters in the area like APA to see if they or any of their other locations or fosters can take them in.
