We do what we can to make sure it won't be, but we still do not hold ourselves responsible for the actions of others. If we did, we'd be even crazier than we are now. This rescue thing is sort of like religion... There are many ways to
believe.. On this list many of us spend a lot of time and money to add a few months of quality life to FeLV+ cats life.... Others may choose to add years to a healthy cats life... Who is to say which is right... The shelter is doing great job at saving lives and Jeni is doing a great job in finding adoptions for them and they should be praised for their efforts not criticized for not finding homes for all of them.....
I haven't seen anyone criticizing this shelter for not finding homes for all the animals. The only criticism I have seen is for having crazy policies. At least 80% of cats in a rescue/shelter situation will have been exposed to corona virus, so if this shelter is in fact euthanizing all cats that have been exposed to it, they are euthanizing 8 out of 10 cats for having been exposed to something that is in the vast, vast majority of cases, completely harmless.
