List of bad placement homes for rescued animals
Hello all--
If you are involved in rescue in the Dallas area (specifically the Allen Texas area), you may be interested in joining a Yahoo group for our mutual support so that what happened to me doesn't happen to you. The placement family looked OK, a little fastidious, but we should reject someone for being too clean? Maybe so. The kittens were fat, healthy and happy, and today one of them is on the edge of death from Lord knows what, and the other is holding her own. When I attempted to retrieve them, I got screamed out like you would not believe from the husband, who has, shall we say, quite some mouth on him. I thought it was interesting that he kept screaming at me that I was raising my voice (if I had been, how could he tell?) and that I was (his word) "insane." I talked with another placement agency but it was the day after the kittens were placed--it seems they rejected this couple based on a prior bad experience! Too late for my little babies! I did call the SPCA (they can do nothing because it is Collin County). I called the Allen PD and spoke with the Animal Control Officer, and learned that the one is near death ("scrawny, listless and lethargic"). I spoke with their vet--not the one they said they used, but one they specifically said they did NOT use!--and he said "what is wrong with her? She calls my office four and five times a day! I finally told the girl at the desk not to put her calls through. The woman says she thinks there is something wrong neonatally. She told me maybe the kittens are too much for her, and I said maybe she was right. I just want to crawl under a rock when she calls." Ya know, if we had a central location to list freaks like this, these kittens would not be in harm's way today. So please, go to Yahoo groups, if you are a rescue, provide your group's name and contact information, and let's get together for the good of the animals we are trying to save! Thanks, Christine (kittens Inc) |
