I found a stray cat at my apartment complex. Clearly a stray. Sweet dude but still had his balls and had never heard or seen a fan before (obviously never been in a home in AZ). I called 3 different no kill foster/shelters. All told me there was a law that all strays had to go to the pound. The pound puts them to sleep if they aren't adopted quickly. By law they were not able to take him. I have to fill out literally 11 pages of paperwork and pay a fortune swearing that I was abandoning him etc. It was awful.

I ended up taking him in as number 5 kitty. Now when I meet cats outside I tell them I can't help. It's so sad. I know these older, unhealthy, not pretty cats would be put to sleep at the pound. Stupid laws.
