Julie thanks for that link. I agree with you about the cause of overpopulation and have never blamed reputable pet breeders for that. Sometimes a person wants a specific temperament in a pet - or in the case of a dog, wants them to do a particular job- and the breed matters. But some people who think of themselves as rescuers try to make you feel like crap if you purchased your animal from a reputable breeder rather than from a shelter.

There is so much disease in the shelter I spoke of, I would not ever adopt a kitten there or advise anyone else to do so. I would be too concerned about it's health and about the health of people and other animals in the house.

And I feel so dreadful for the cats and kittens in the situation. I don't know what other steps I can take, if animal control does not see the problem, and they are the "authority" in my county. Possibly HSUS?
