Help other municipalities with their overflow of unwanted cats??
The SPCA services two small towns and a large rural area and it is well supported by the communities. In the past they have accepted overflow dogs from puppy mill closures, shouldn't they do the same for cats.
I have cats and dogs so I love both. I just don't understand why cats are more disposable.

The shelter I work at take the overflow from a couple of other shelters - dogs AND cats. A couple of weeks ago we took delivery of 12 cats and a mother and her four kittens. There were some dogs as well, but because I am in the cattery I cant give you those figures.
We are also no kill in so much as every cat and dog that is re-homable is kept until it has a home to go to. The only ones humanely put to sleep are wild ferals (cats) and the very sick with no hope of recovery (cats and dogs).
Seems we in Australia do treat cats and dogs with the same respect and equality.

Well i was thinking the same thing you did i am actually hoping that the SPCA would help cats all over as well that have no space in other shelters for a while..
I think its because people here need to realise to neuter and spay there cats and kittens at a young age cause cats breed more than dogs do so i guess thats why people dispose them more as you have said..
I love cats and dogs too i dont see why it should be any different im with you on this one.. i will find out more from the SPCA and other shelters around here to find out but im sure all of them are NO KILL SHELTERS but it is good to support them as well and sponsor hope this helps..
Most of the shelters arnt sponsored by the government and well they are actually volunteers and sponsors from people and thats why its so hard to keep alot of animals if there is no money so i sugges that giving a donation or sponsor an animal would be great as well..

My Cat went out a window My Son opened up. He was missing for quite some time. So I went to Our local Pound. They only had four cages for Cats, and over 20 for dogs. All the People that came in were looking for Dogs. People just view them differently, not everyone, but enough to make it difficult on finding proper shelter, homes and help for them. I know it is because they have never owned or experienced a Cat, if they did, most would change their minds.
Sounds like this came to Your attention for a reason, call them up and ask for the top dog, and suggest what You have shared with us. Perhaps call some local shelters and get some numbers for them first.
God Bless

i can't really answer because i am more of a dog person, though i agree that no animal, whatever species it may be, should be mistreated. that is a topic that you would probably have to take up with your local spca. not us.
