Some common assumptions on which sheltering programs are based

“Spay/neuter and educational efforts targeted at owners and pets will reduce shelter intake.” “Shelter animals have

looking for them.” “Shelter animals could be adopted if not reclaimed.”

The Cat Who Loved Kittens

She was a stray, domestic long-haired blue cream tortoiseshell, who was brought to our shelter 29 days ago. She was a very pretty cat. She loved kittens. She didn’t have any with her when she came in, but when she was allowed out of her cage for exercise, she would run up to the cages with kittens in them and try to clean them by licking them….On the days that our shelter was closed, I’d let her out of the cage to stretch out on my desk and she’d try to play with my pen while I tried to do my

  • paperwork. Two weeks ago, she became the cat who had been

at our shelter the longest, so I had her photographed and made her ‘Pet of the Week’ in our local newspaper. Unfortunately not

  • ne person called…No one cared that she was beautiful. No one

cared that she got along with dogs and cats. No one cared that she was young or that she had silky fur, or that she liked to clean kittens, or stretch out on a desk or play with a pen…

Cats are >13 times more likely to return home by non-shelter than by shelter means 66% of lost cats found because they return home. Only 7% found via call or visit to shelter Cats are almost 3 times as likely as dogs to “disappear” from households

What could we do instead?

  • Expand the options for live

release via Shelter-Neuter- Return

  • Limit intake to only those cats

that can be released alive, or for whom death is clearly the best alternative

  • Invest resources not spent on

killing cats on programs to benefit cats, wildlife and communities
