So often is the SPCA secretive and lacking in care!
This woman found an ill cat and took it to the SPCA for help - not to have it killed. She deserves to be part of the process, not to be ignored.
From my own experience, I know that often some dental work, and if needed, thyroid medication, will turn a frail old cat into a sunbeam-seeking, happy retiree.
How sad that the SPCA chose to kill this cat, without bothering to contact "the finder" (the woman who cared), and now are once again, in their cavalier way, being secretive about it.
