NO KILL animal shelter sells SICK pets! Ripoff

Shops, Products, Services

Upon the death of my dear cat of 13 years, I decided to visit Lenawee Humane Society (our local "no kill" animal shelter) to adopt a couple of kittens. I wish I hadn't.

I fell in love with a 6 month old female silver tabby and a 9 week old male black kitten. They seemed fine, and enjoyed playing together. I paid the $104.00 adoption fee and took them home for a trial period of a few days. They adjusted well, and seemed like normal kittens. Then I had to go to the shelter and finalize the adoption.

Just before that, I noticed that my female kitty (Suki is her name) was sneezing quite a bit. I asked about this when I went to the shelter, and the worker Kathy DeRosa was evasive about the subject but she said the cat did sneeze off and on. I decided to see how she did and later I'd take her to our vet. Since then, she has grown WORSE, and she has a VERY FOUL ODOR as well.in addition, my male kitten (his name is Tucker) is now infected with whatever the Suki has. They are both very sick.

Two days ago, I called to ask what the LHS was going to do about this issue - we have a baby and can't have this happening in our household! I spoke with Bonnie Tancredi, and she was IMMEDIATELY defensive. She told me that Suki had been receiving antibiotics, and that's why I didn't see symptoms. These people had deliberately concealed from me that this cat was sick, AND that she was on medication that I could have continued to give her, had I only known.

In addition, when I stated that I wanted to return the cats and get my adoption fee back, Bonnie did not remind me of our adoption contract: it states that if the animal (s) are diagnosed with a potentially fatal disease within 14 days of the adoption, we would be reimbursed. I will follow up on this issue, but I don't expect to be reimbursed - I believe the disease is Rhinotracheitis, but it is hard to diagnose. Beware when adopting animals from this shelter!
