This is just to make everyone informed. Last winter we took in a cat from Sandy Anderson, that she had rescued. We were told that they she had been fixed, flea treated, worm treated, and received all her shots.
Right away we found out she was covered in fleas, wasn't a huge deal fleas repopulate fast, so we didn't think too much on it. But over the last year we have been continuing to combat a massive worm infestation, (it is so bad, normal medicine haven't been able to completely clear it up) and we have been dealing with what we thought were "false heats" (going off of Sandy's word that the cat had been spayed where told that the cat must have been in heat when she was spayed, so the vet problem missed some tissue, which affected her hormonally).
A year later we finally had a vet perform a full search and on their recommendation a new spay job. Turns out the cat had never been spayed in the first place. While we appreciate that Sandy was trying to find a good home for the cat (which she did) we do not appreciate her misleading us and decreasing the quality of this cats life over the last year. (yes we did have the cat looked over by the vet right after we got her. When we asked about the spay job then, he said he knew who Ms. Anderson was and that we could trust her word)
We are really just irritated that we didn't fix this problem earlier because we had bad information to go off of. So we posting this in order to make everyone else who may have gotten a cat from Sandy Anderson aware. That way hopefully the can get their pets checked out too and back to living happy lives. Sandy Anderson obviously cares about the animals but misleading the people that take them in does the animal more harm then it does them good.
