Mary S. Provided False Information About Conan
I recently started reading this board, and have been following Conan's story!
After reading some of the messages, I became extremely concerned about the fact that people could justify placing Conan with Charlie Wilkes. He would not provide a suitable home for Conan. Anyone who gets his cat high should not have a cat. From what I have seen over and over, he has shown that he neglects, and in my opinion abuses, animals. I cannot believe that anybody would even think about placing Conan there. It makes me ill to think about the situation. Anyways, what Mary said about the adoption and its process was completely false. I was on the phone with Katherine at the Orange County Shelter today, and nothing Mary has said is true. Conan is not presently at risk for being euthanized. Yes, he will be "re-evaluated" on Wednesday, but Katherine said that as long as he is in good health and is an adoptable cat, which we know he is, he will be kept longer. I don't think that leaving him in the shelter for a few more days so we could find a more suitable home would pose any sort of a problem. Mary claimed to have "arranged" for Conan to be picked up. Katherine said numerous times that the Orange County Shelter is a publicly-run government- funded organization, therefore, no one can arrange for an out-of-state adoption. Animals are adopted on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you have the money, you can have the cat. Katherine said she did not receive any applications from Charlie Wilkes, because they have no applications process and they do not do ANY sort of screening. It is not possible that anyone could have applied to adopt Conan, because they don't take applications. Despite, what Mary says, Katherine denied that any sort of out-of-state adoption had been approved, or ever would be. You don't have to believe me, call the shelter and ask yourself. Conan has some time, and I think it is a mistake for people to rush into this adoption. Take a little time, have some standards, and find Conan a good home. At this point, nobody should settle for someone like Charlie. Instead the focus should be put on finding a really wonderful home for Conan with someone that can give him all of the wonderful things he deserves. -- A concerned cat lover |

Anyone who gets his cat high should not have a cat. From what I have seen over and over, he has shown that he neglects, and in my opinion abuses, animals. I cannot believe that anybody would even think about placing Conan there. It makes me ill to think about the situation. So what you did was call Katherine and frighten her about Charlie Wilkes. Anyways, what Mary said about the adoption and its process was completely false. I was on the phone with Katherine at the Orange County Shelter today, and nothing Mary has said is true. Conan is not presently at risk for being euthanized. Yes, he will be "re-evaluated" on Wednesday, but Katherine said that as long as he is in good health and is an adoptable cat, which we know he is, he will be kept longer. As we have already discussed, Katherine has never admitted that they are a "kill" shelter. However, staff person Jessica said that they were. Katherine called me one week ago to tell me that Conan was up for "re-evaluation" on June 29. Now then, genius, what might this re-evaluation be for, if not for euthanization? I don't think that leaving him in the shelter for a few more days so we could find a more suitable home would pose any sort of a problem. You do not know this for sure, so what you think is just not enough. Mary claimed to have "arranged" for Conan to be picked up. I did indeed. I spoke with Katherine yesterday, and she agreed that Dan could come pick him up today. Katherine said numerous times that the Orange County Shelter is a publicly-run government- funded organization, therefore, no one can arrange for an out-of-state adoption. What she said is that they, there at the shelter, cannot arrange an out-of-town adoption. They don't have the funds for it. Animals are adopted on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you have the money, you can have the cat. Katherine said she did not receive any applications from Charlie Wilkes, because they have no applications process and they do not do ANY sort of screening. Nobody said Charlie sent an application. It is not possible that anyone could have applied to adopt Conan, because they don't take applications. Despite, what Mary says, Katherine denied that any sort of out-of-state adoption had been approved, or ever would be. She approved it yesterday. You don't have to believe me, call the shelter and ask yourself. I've left a message with Katherine to call me back and have spoken this minute with Marcos, who has promised to give her my message. Conan has some time, and I think it is a mistake for people to rush into this adoption. Take a little time, have some standards, and find Conan a good home. At this point, nobody should settle for someone like Charlie. Instead the focus should be put on finding a really wonderful home for Conan with someone that can give him all of the wonderful things he deserves. I misrepresented nothing at all. What I suspect you did was frighten Katherine in an attempt to de-rail the adoption process. We'll see if you were successful or not. |

The poor woman (who I happen to know now) has more important things to do than deal with any more than one of you PsychoMoms. Pester Hector. LOL |

I pity the shelter employees. Perhaps y'all could let them do their
jobs? Donate money directly to the shelter if you want to help. I don't understand paying the adoption fee for someone who goes in prepared to pay the fee. Matthew |

AHHHH ... so it is you who leapt to a conclusion. OC shelter does dispose of animals according to a formula which I details much earlier. snip Conan has some time, and I think it is a mistake for people to rush into this adoption.

In the future Mary, I bet you act swifty and ... alone ... in such rescue efforts from shelters. Involve few people as possible, get the job done quickly, decisively, and without publicity. Covert recues. |

I don't understand paying the adoption fee for someone who goes in prepared to pay the fee. Yes, I agree. I guess I was hoping the fact that the fee was paid might get the shelter staff to nudge people in his direction. In any case, I am still willing (through Dan, who has the money) to reimburse anyone who adopts Conan. Don't pity the shelter staff too much, Matthew. Katherine is implying that there is not a chance Conan will be killed and there is indeed a chance. Otherwise, what is he being evaluated for on June 29th? |

You shouldn't have meddled at this late stage of the game. Why didn't you pipe in earlier before all these people have worked on making arrangements? You should have kept out of it and now if Conan can't be sprung, his blood will be on your hands. Asshole. Candace |

This may be what was meant be "re-evaluation". Why - when they call the shelter - doesn't someone ask *exactly WHAT* they mean by "re-evaluation"...instead of all this speculation...? -L. |

Asshole. |
