Can the cat in question be a foster (at least officially) so, if they are
busted, it returns to the shelter?
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.

Hi Wendy,
Such a tough choice! I'm not a shelter owner or volunteer, but I guess I'd
ask them about the neighborhood. How tolerant are the neighbors? Is there
a
chance anyone would want to turn them in? If that's the case, it might be
risky since you never know what would happen to the animals if they were
"repossessed" so to speak.
Just my thoughts!
Melissa

visitfor Maltese shelter
Hey guys,
I went on my first site visit tonight with my friend
who lives here in San Antonio. The only real concern
she and I both had were that the family already has 5
dogs and 5 cats. They live in a regular subdivision
home in San Antonio (regular size plot-nothing too
large, although the backyard is nicely sized). The
municipal code says that no more than 5 dogs and 3
cats be in one home at a time. So our question,
especially to shelter owners/volunteers, is this: if
you know adopting a dog out, even if it's to a good
family, will put that family in violation of city
codes, would you do it? My friend is not the one
making the decision; she's just reporting the
information to the shelter. We were just curious as
to what your thoughts are on this.
:)
Wendy
