4940.0. ""No Kill" shelters in Lower Michigan?" by RLAV::BARRETT (Is it safe?) Mon Sep 16 1991 23:24
    Does anyone know of any "no kill" shelters in southern, lower
    Michigan?
    My little sister is being force by her landlord to move her cat
    out (my little sister took a chance by moving into a no pets
    place, and the lady upstairs turned her in).
    No one in my family who lives in Michigan (I don't anymore) will
    take the cat even temporarily (I think I must have been switched
    at birth - I just can't understand why they won't even take her
    temporarily!).
    Or does anyone know of anyone in that vicinity who would like to
    adopt an affectionate, indoor-outdoor, long haired, petite, all
    white cat named Cola?  She's a sweetie, and she fetches too!  I
    would take her but I am over my limit already...
    
    The only problem with any shelter, even if no kill, is illness.  I
    volunteer in a shelter on the weekends, and many of out cats get
    sick, especially the surrendered ones, I guess because they get so
    stressed.  Do you other shelter workers see this?

|  |     I work at another shelter in Mass....and what I find that
    once a few cats do get the sniffles...it does spread pretty
    quickly.  In my opinion...I'm not sure this is due to stress..
    or the change in the weather this time a year.  It's 40 one
    night...and 90 the next day!!   We had a very good healthy
    summer with our cats.
    
    good luck in finding a good home for your sister's cat!!
