Animal Shelter Overflow

Animal Shelters Overflow with Housing Crisis: Need Support
September 18th, 2008

The housing/ mortagage crisis is not only affecting people, it is affecting animals. Countless people are forced to abandon their homes which they really could not afford and were lured into thinking they could, especially in the year 2006. Many of these people own pets and find that they are in too stressful of a situation to be able to care for a cat or dog anymore. Some of these pets are just left in the foreclosed home for the animal shelter to rescue. Others are left at the local animal shelter to either be humanely killed or to have someone find a home for their pet.

Animal shelters need your support through donations now more than ever. Countless adult cats face a humane death if support is not given since the care of these cats costs the animal shelter a lot of money. Support is also needed if you can afford to adopt a cat. You can also donate airmiles or donate your older car to help the local or national animal shelter.
