There are over 70 million homeless animals living in the U.S. Of these animals, only around six to eight million ever find their way into animal shelters, and a tiny fraction of these animals get adopted into a forever home. Due to issues with overcrowding and limited supplies, shelters can’t always care for all the animals that are brought in and, sadly, have to euthanize new residents.
Chloe, the eight-day-old kitten was one of these animals, slotted for euthanasia just hours after she was admitted to a shelter in Los Angeles. This poor orphaned kitten needed round the clock attention and regular bottle feedings, a level of care that the shelter could not afford to take on. It was decided that if a foster parent couldn’t be found for this small life, she would have to be put down.
Luckily, shelter volunteers were able to locate a willing foster through Cats at the Studio Rescue to take Chloe in! Saved from a horrible fate, this precious kitten now has the chance to grow up and experience the wonders of life. Once she is strong enough, Chloe will be on the hunt for a forever home, all thanks to the amazing people who stepped in to save her life.

I do agree with you in regards to the overwhelming situation of unwanted cats & Kittens. I too would rather see them euthanized than end up homeless or abused or killed for fun. I also agree that animals should not be given as a gift.
I can\’t believe the hatred towards tween, I don\’t condone what she did, but in a way I can see why she did what she did & her hatred towards kittens. People are posting that ALL life is PRECIOUS yet at the same time your telling this kid to kill herself. What HYPOCRITES!!! How would you feel if your child was abused & killed cats. Tween associates kittens with what her uncle did to her. I\’m sure by now she won\’t trust any adult, for those of you who take pride in telling people to kill themselves you\’re no better than those who kill animals for fun. To tween I can\’t say that I understand the pain & suffering that you\’re going thru, but try to find some one you can trust & seek some help. Killing kittens will not change the past. You say U love animals,if U hate kittens that\’s fine but try to find it in your heart not to kill them. Your better than that despite what some people here may say about U. Don\’t let what your uncle did destroy the good in you, It will be a tough road but U can do it.
