I was very interested with your article in The Vancouver Sun today and
just wanted to say thanks for the help you are doing. The SPCA has been out
of our focus for about 7 years as we had a bad time with the Richmond SPCA as they killed
our cat. He was 17 years old and they came and took him from our garden as
they said someone thought he was abused because of his lack of meat on his
bones. I said he was an old man who could not keep his weight up and our
Vet told us not to worry about him as he was just getting old. A month
later they came again took him again and just put him to sleep without talking to us. We
were so hurt that we never have talked to them since.

The vet I saw at the Vancouver SCPA where he was killed, appologized
and said it was an old cat but not an abused one at all.
She couldn't understand why someone wouldn't just knock on our door to tell us they had
had a call about our cat.

Continue on and thanks for the help you are doing.
