I RESCUED A KITTEN!!!
the boy i am dating, his friend is a construction worker and they found a kitten in one of their trucks so he took it to the pound only to find out they euthanize kittens within two days. TWO DAYS! and he is the cutest and most friendly kitten in the world. the only downside to him is that he is really too young to have been taken from his mother so he cries for her sometimes. he hasn't since i got home from work today though. i think he loves me.
(by the way, his food isn't actually in the bathroom; that was just when i first brought him home so that was his safe room until he felt comfy in there, then i let him into the rest of the apartment)

What the FUCK is wrong with your pound?
Jesus fucking christ. Kittens and puppies should never be euthanised if only because they are so easy to get rid of. I've never heard of such an insane rule.
SonofZ3:
So easy to get rid of? Maybe with some types of dogs, but certainly not cats. Most humane societies in America are over run with stray cats and kittens. Its extremely rare to find a humane society that doesn't put cats down. I thought somewhere around a week was normal. Its not really insane at all, considering the humane society she is speaking of probably already has more cats and kittens than it can afford to feed, house, and provide medical care for. Unfortunate? Yes. Insane? No.

D: D: D: Is Fargo overrun with mutant psycho kitties that eat people or something? That's terrible! I think a lot of places around here wait 1-2 weeks at least. Either way, this is why I do not take stray cats to the pound. We've rescued a few strays before and we'll either keep them until we can find them a home, pass them along to another person who can foster them, or just straight up keep them. (Granted the one we did keep we didn't really try very hard to find him a home because he's the bestest.) But really, this makes me happy I got my first cat when we did, because literally we were about to leave the pound when they brought in two carriers full of kittens. I'm pretty sure all were adopted within 10 min though...
Squee!!! It's so cute, I'm glad you got to rescue it! I <3 kitties. Did you name him?
BrittanyMarie:
that's the thing though, it was the pound and not the humane society. the pound has to put em down that fast unless someone from the humane society or one of the other rescue groups come to take them or if whoever brought it in found someone to save it. there are just a ton of cats i think for the population. other cities might have some strays and it's fine but because of our winters we can't really have them outside. even mine in the summer was found in an engine because of the warmth... and of course he got burnt up paws because of it, poor thing.
his name is wembley! he's about 8 weeks old we think. right now he is attacking his scratching post with gusto (i sprayed liquid catnip on it)
