Waiting at the Rainbow Bridge

Thank you (and any others it applies to) for adopting from a rescue or shelter.
I'm a volunteer at our local shelter, and I see great dogs and cats go to that ugly back room all the time. We're not a no-kill shelter, and no shelter really is. Most of those who claim to be no-kill actually control their population at the front door; we are required by the three cities that fund us to control ours at the back door. A major feral cat trapping program in one of our supporting cities almost wiped out our incoming isolation room inmates and required the euthanasia of a number of long-time cats that only had one of three things against them: They were older (not kittens), they were the wrong color (black or tabby), or they had caught the usual cat cold.
