I had found three, very new kittens in a box along the side of a road. I am a college student, unable to give the kittens the level of care they require so, I chose to go the Paw Patch in Clyde for some guidance. I thought this facility would, at the very least, provide me information about housing or adaption tips to insure the kittens where provided with the things they needed. Immediately after approaching the front desk I explained this situation to the women working, after receiving a dirty look she says to me €I have no room for any more cats, look around. There€s absolutely no room.€ after asking her for her opinion on were else I could take them the veterinarian up to take a look at the kittens, she had noted they€re too young to be eating on their own. She had made a few snide remarks while talking with me like €you didn€t see any other offices open on the way here€. She then proceeded to ask for a donation, which I do fully understand. Taking care of these animals isn€t cheap. After telling her I€m in school and don€t have money to spare she rolls her eyes and says €some money would be nice, I have a lot of cats€. I again stated that I couldn€t afford it. (Which is why I brought them there in the first place). As she turns around to walk out of the room she says, again €a donation would sure be nice€. A few minutes later another worker returns and while saying "I guess we'll keep them", takes the kittens. I was going to this office, trying to do what was best for these helpless kittens and was then treated so rudely. I am very well aware of the increasing population of stray cats, but how could I simply leave three tiny kittens on the side of the road to fend for themselves. I should have, in no way, been guilted into a donation. This contradicts the very meaning of the word. I was trying to do what was best for these kittens, and in return received horrible treatment.Read Less
