think he had seen a cat in person before - only in books).

Boy, that was sad. Some of those cats have been there since April. I thought our shelter was no-kill, but according to someone I spoke to there, they put down 2600 animals or so per year.

I wanted to take half of those animals home with us. Sad.

    - Yeah. The woman I was speaking to knew I wouldn't be adopting a cat due to allergy issues, but she looked shocked when I said that if I could adopt - kelly Oct 23, 10:53
