"You told the rescuer what?" | FieldHaven Feline Center

Sharon (not her real name) spotted a kitten in her apartment complex last December. She and some of the neighbors fed her and she grew. In late June she disappeared. Several weeks later she showed up with five sets of tiny paws and tails following her.
Sharon called her local animal shelter. When she presented them to customer service she was told "we have no room for them, we can't offer you any resources, not even spay neuter". When Sharon asked what she should do she was told "put them back where you found them."
In desperation she came to us. When I heard her story I called the organization she had gone to (yes, it was the right one for her jurisdiction). I left a voice mail and (nicely) asked them to call me because I had a customer come in with a mom and litter that should really be going to their shelter. I never received a call back.
Of course, we didn't let Sharon leave with the kittens that day. We intook them. They are safe, cared for and will be placed for adoption.
I am so disappointed - this is an organization I respected. Now I don't know what to thing.
PS - this is not the first time I've heard people reporting they were given similar "direction" so it's not a one off. Sadly.

Such a young momma. She doesn’t even look full grown.
