About three years ago a stray cat came to where I live. The cat had five kittens. I called the Humane Society in Elkins. They said they would take the kittens but never did. I called and sent text messages. Never heard from them again.
Now another stray cat had kittens on my porch. The momma cat got hit by a car and was killed. On the morning of Oct. 6, I called the so-called Humane Society and told them I had six kittens, their eyes barely open, and that the momma cat was killed by a car. I told them, without the momma cat, these kittens will die. The Humane Society refused to take them. They told me to try Tucker County. I told them I don't drive. They still refused to take the kittens.
I know most shelters are overwhelmed, but to refuse to take kittens they know are going to die is unconscionable, and I assume goes against everything the Humane Society stands for. What a disgrace.
