Karen, it's standard for many "Humane" Societies to PTS cats for reasons as
simple as "room" (as in, to make more room to take in more cats). I used to work
at the Memphis Humane Society, and they were not "no kill", they PTS healthy
cats with NO problems if they ran out of space. In addition almost ALL Humane
Societies PTS any cat testing positive for FELV or FIV, they don't even hold
them for retesting usually. It's their standard procedure. That being said, they
also do a lot of good things, like investigate animal cruelty complaints, and
get wounded animals vet care. However, if you want to volunteer for MY rescue,
I'd be more than happy to make you a foster home for my group, and we do NOT
ever PTS any animal that has a good quality of life, for any reason. I will only
PTS if the animal is suffering, for humane purposes only. I'm in Vermont, of
course, you're probably no where near me, but the same goes for many no kill
rescues, you just have to seek them out in your area. I think you would be a lot
happier in the long run fostering for a group that has the same morals and
beliefs as you do.
