(I know, it's awful.) Toronto Cat Rescue took in 50 of the animals, while the remainder went to the Toronto Humane Society. "There will be a few that take a little longer," she told CBC Toronto in an interview on Sunday. For example, when I asked them why a cat who was given up because the owner could not afford the surgery was getting the surgery for free, but was not allowed to be returned to the owner, the foster coordinator very rudely suggested that anyone who can't afford vet fees does not 'deserve' to have a pet, even if that person may have loved the cat and tried everything in their power to get the fees to pay for the bills. I even drove all the way to the outskirts of the city to pick up my first foster cat, and they are accusing me of not driving enough? TCR volunteer didn't get her facts straight and the truth was never told. I'm extremely frustrated. I took care of her throughout the morning and brought her to the vet first thing so she could be looked after. The shelter usually accepts between 35 and 45 cats each month, so the influx of animals from this single home has put the facility at capacity. I requested a specific cat and I was told she was taken and offered a different one. Barely a week after this whole ordeal, when she was still healing from her surgery (she got spayed after she miscarried), I got an email from a foster coordinator insisting that she be driven at 9 am to an adopt-a-thon at a store and that if she didn't get adopted that day, she would stay in a cage in the store.I didn't end up doing that, because not only was it super early on a weekend morning and on the other side of the city, it was my understanding the whole point of the fostering experience was for the cats to receive care and love in a home environment before being adopted into their forever homes, not to languish in some tiny store cage for however long until someone adopts them.Because I refused to do this, the organization seems to have a vendetta against me, and refused from that point on to let me foster anymore pregnant cats, saying that I didn't seem "keen" on driving the cats around and that pregnant cats needed to be driven to the vet on short notice - notwithstanding the fact that that is exactly what I did when my cat miscarried, and that they even thanked me profusely for doing so when it was needed. Most of these cats spend time in foster homes with other animals and humans, getting consistent contact and attention until TCR can find them a home using their website. Close this dialog ...
