Kiss My Arse
Hey all
Long story, but I have a rescue who wants to save an elderly cat from Martinez shelter and take her into their program
When I spoke with the rescue coordinator at Martinez, she said this rescue facility is a warehouse with 300 cats in cages, and she won't allow the cat to be transferred there. She did say however that the last time she visited it was four or five years ago.............
So, what do I want. Can somebody please go check out this facility and provide me with your feedback on whether or not you would allow your cat to be sheltered here until they find a home? This shelter is described as No Kill, but that does (sometimes) raise the question "is it just a hoarding situation?"

Their website looks fantastic, their adoption numbers look great, but I would love to have a first hand account of what the place is like. How many cats are there, what the conditions are, average length of stay etc
If you don't want to ask questions, please just walk around and give me your honest opinion on the place
Photos would be brilliant too, if you can get any.
I don't want a rescue partner turned down because of ancient history, nor do I want to send our Martinez cats to a hell hole, so your help will be really appreciated
Thanks!!
