COMMUNITY ALERT/ AWARENESS ⚠️ ‼️🔊APPLE VALLEY SHELTER INTAKE FOR 8/2024 shows 244 cats of which 198 were NEVER posted. Look at their track record! Where are the cats going? Town of AV does NOT care! Mayors office does not care!

AVAS August intake disposition report, 246 cats were euthanized. Out of that 198 never showed up on the website and we had no knowledge about them. WHERE ARE THESE CATS GOING!? Why is there no record of them or no opportunity for them to be rescued or adopted? AVAS is not in compliance with California state law penal code 599d. It’s unlawful to euthanize animals that can be treated or rehabilitated with reasonable efforts. They refuse to vaccinate or treat them. They refuse to show them to the public or post them. They refuse to make available any information used to aid in rescue. This shelter is abusing animals and violating the laws set to protect animals.

I’ll say it again - that is a BABY. I have never met a BABY who couldn’t be socialized to at least semi-feral status with proper time and attention. Gloves, people! Blankets, towels, pillowcases! The can all be used to catch fractious cats, and especially kittens, without causing injury to yourself.
