The shelter
George’s heart was already breaking when the cat, meowing, sat in the basket on the passenger seat. Despite his emotions, George remained determined to deliver the cat to the shelter. Once he got there, he spoke to the receptionist and explained the situation. He looked pityingly at the kitten in the carrier, then said something that made it impossible for George to leave the cat there.
“We already have so many kittens here that need a home…” she began. “We simply don’t have room. We can accept this animal, but I’m afraid he will get an injection.” The shelter couldn’t take in more animals. They were full.
George stared at the receptionist in disbelief, then decided to call the vet for advice.
