JimmythePig
Junior Guinea Pig
I went to the shelter to pick up supplies for Jimmy, my darling foster pig,. A woman was there with a cat in a carrier. You can't go inside, you stand at a door to wait for staff to come to you. I asked her if she was fostering the cat, her eyes welled up in tears. She was surrendering the cat because the cat had a heart condition and she couldn't afford the vet bills. She said it was like giving up her daughter.
I know when you make the decision to bring a pet in your life it means responsibility for their whole life, but it's not the pets fault when things go wrong and sometimes the owner hits hard times. I feel so sorry for this cat and this woman. There has to be a better way to keep loving owners and their pets together.
