Glenda, I'm so sorry it ended this way for Marmalade, and for you. It sounds like just a very unfortunate set of circumstances. You say you know this shelter and trust the people there, so it doesn't sound like you were irresponsible in bringing him there. It doesn't sound like they are kill-crazy the way many shelters are, and it sounds like the people there really do care. Gentle Bridge vibes to Marmalade, and hugs to you.
