Does the RSPCA gun down the animals that nobody wishes?
About two months ago I had to give my 5 year old masculine ginger cat to the RSPCA (cause of moving states), and he's not overly friendly - he really only liked me to be honest (to give you an idea) so im assuming when he go to the RSPCA he wasnt a happy chappy, probably scared out of his brains too .. so not very appealing to someone wanting to buy a cat from in attendance .. anyway the point of my question is if not a soul takes the animals home and it eventually becomes too long of a time have the animals there, do they eventually put them down?
as much as i didnt want to think about it, ive started to wonder roughly what they actually do with the animals that nobody wants. do they put them down? what do they do? because thats a heck nouns of unwanted animals being put down if they do kill them? im not certain if i want to hear the answer, but if i dont it will eat absent at me.
oh and how long do they keep the animals before .. they end it?
It depends on the shelter. When my landlord forced me to get rid of some of my cats I did the research and found a no kill shelter (they have 130 cats and a long waiting list) but I waited and drove a hour out of the way to make certain they never had to be in that situation. Call the shelter you dropped them off at and ask whether they are a no kill shelter.
The shelter I found is very nice, I've gone an visited them after I dropped them stale (while they were in quarentine) they know them all by first name and they know me and I call regularly for updates, most places wont do this though.
It was a bit easier for me though, One cat was a stray I have picked up at a building they were tearing down and 2 were feral kittens, Although I loved them I simply had them for a short time and was planning on adopt out the kittens, I still miss them though.
Please wake up out of your shell. Yes they shoot them and it could be the same day a week o a month depending on how adoptable a cat is and how much room they have
Oh and please don't acquire any more animals as they are lifetime commitments
Answers: I'm sorry, but yes; masses animal shelters must put down animals that do not find new homes, to make room for animals coming in. It's a depressed reality, and one that people do not like to frontage.
It varies from shelter to shelter how long an animal will be kept before it is euthanized. If it's a busy shelter, the animal may with the sole purpose get two weeks. Shelters around here take about a month. There are some no-kill shelters here and within, but they generally only take within a select amount of animals so that they do not become overcrowded.
There are many rescue groups that try to pull animals from shelters before they're put down, but in that is a huge overabundance of cats and if he wasn't very friendly, it's a huge possibility that he be humanely destroyed.
Animals are usually destroyed by lethal injection, but some shelters use toxic gas as well.
I'm sorry you have to lose your friend, and hopefully he found himself a nice new home.
