Cats in Shelters: Breaking the Vicious Circle
Seven out of ten cats that enter California shelters will be euthanized. Is that the role of a shelter? No. In 1998, California enacted the Hayden law, with the intent of ending the euthanasia of adoptable pets. Since then, there have been steps forward and steps back, but overall... no progress on cats. The numbers taken to shelters and euthanized actually rose. Adoptions improved and then stalled. The sad truth is that a stray cat has a better chance of finding a new home -- not to mention staying alive -- if it never sees the inside of an animal shelter.
