So, I took mom's cat to MARL today. They were really sweet. I told them what was going on and that I was afraid the dogs would hurt her, they took her no questions asked. I left her carrier, her big container of food and then some donations from my youngest's girl scout troop.
The sad part is, Jimmy and I got there about 5 mins before they opened, and there were already three people there with cats to surrender. One man had a tiny little kitten, he said the momma cat abandoned the kittens and he tried to save them, but they had all died but one and he didnt know what else to do. It was really sweet, a great big ole working man - worried about that tiny kitty.
One of the other guys had two feral cats he had trapped- wow were they wild! and then there was one tame one.
MARL is such a great organization. I hope if you live in the metro Jackson area and are considering adding a pet to your family, you'll visit a shelter. There are several in our area, but I would recommend the Jackson City Pound (Jackson Friends of the Animal Shelter is an amazing non-profit that helps city pound animals) and MARL. If you dont live the area, please consider adoption of a shelter animal. There are tons out there- some even full blooded like my Ally Kate the pug.
Jimmy told me when him and Emma got home (she didnt feel well so I dropped them off on my way to take Hannah to KingSingers practice) the first thing she asked Emma was "Have you seen the cat?"
Oy. I know it was the right decision, but its going to be hard if I have to tell her about it every day.
