<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nI had her on hold for two weeks till she made it to two pounds for spaying. I would show up unexpectedly to check on her. They didn\u2019t like my visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New policies suddenly were in place. Put my purse in my car policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No pictures or filming. I was supervised even in the playroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I finally got to pick her up on August 2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I gave her worm medication. I took her to the vet on 8\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was too young for the boosters the pound told me I had to get for her.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nMy deworming her worked. No internal parasites. She had a yeast infection in her ears. I got medication for that. I have to take her back in two weeks for the boosters and another exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I saw the cats and kittens in that place and they were dying in that heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought I found one kitten dead but it raised its head up after nudging it through the bars of the cage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I picked her up they wouldn\u2019t let me in the adoption area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They stopped me at the gate while they got her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I could see the cats across from the gate and they were just laying in there cages lifeless but alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It broke my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Times I visited my Peaches I didn\u2019t think she would survive the hold. She was so lethargic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now she\u2019s affectionate and playful growing fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eating and drinking great. I\u2019m so happy I kept pushing them to get her weight up so she could be spayed and I could take her home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you for rescuing the other cats and kittens. I recognize a lot of them. If I could have taken them all home I would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peaches is getting the best care I can give her.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nShe has a great personality far from the lethargic kitten that I wasn\u2019t sure would survive that hold on her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God bless y\u2019all for taking the other ones out of there. God bless the ones still there or being taken there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Changes need to be made. They know or they wouldn\u2019t have supervised me or restricted me from entering the adoption area when I picked her up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m glad I was a thorn in their side. Peaches wouldn\u2019t have survived if I didn\u2019t push them so hard. Marie Lengyel <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
