Andrea. Using gas chambers to euthanize is horrible.

That is a special cat. She is beautiful! I’d adopt her but I live in a no-pet apartment complex. I hope she finds a VERY good home!

I will never take an animal to the shelter for this very reason. I’ve had too many bad run ins with kill shelters and animal control. Specifically Loudoun County Virginia.
Take unwanted animals to rescues... shut down kill shelters.

Gas chamber? When I was in college I worked one summer in the Boston Animal Rescue League. In the Lethal Room they electrocuted stray cats and dogs, one of the most horrible things I have ever seen. You have no idea. I told them I would quit if I had to work there another day and went home in tears. Gas is a kindness by comparison.

if you can get her to me, and she gets along with other cats, I’d adopt her simply because she’s a survivor!

For some lighthearted reading, try reading a manual on euthanizing of animals. Gas (carbon dioxide) is considered a humane method for many species.
And in case anyone is wondering, I have read the manual, cover to cover. It’s not for the faint-hearted.

Growing up all of our pets were strays - now as adults my brother and sisters always get their pets from shelters/strays. Rescue cats and dogs make the best pets.
The abuse of animals by our society (including industrial animal farming) cheapens life and demeans us as people.

All my furry family members, except one, have been strays or as I call them: ‘found treasures’.

"Since Andrea has been given a third chance, she appears to be healthy with no after effects from the euthanasia."Tsk. Reporters these days. Wouldn't that be "attempted euthanasia?"

The shelters around my area of the state don’t do euthaniasia in batches. They sedate and use an injection. I had to stop volunteering there because I couldn’t take the days I’d come in and the animal I was socializing was no longer there and wasn’t adopted out.
The sad thing is that people almost always put the blame on the shelter folks. There’s no blame for those abandoning their pets knowing the place is already overcrowded. Even when they expand (if they have money to expand). Some don’t have much knowledge about exotics being turned it. There’s no blame for anyone on the front end of the problem. The shelters have limited capacity, they do their best to get the most adoptable out as fast as they can. They get huge numbers in unexpectedly from hoarders, and often are able to adopt most out over time. They do send some animals to other area shelters, but that solution is never able to take all of them.
I am glad I don’t have to make those decisions daily. It really weighs hard on many of those people because they have their own pets - often several - and they have to make such choices as part of their job. It’s a job I don’t envy and could not do.
