My dentist is a volunteer for a nearby shelter that doesn't have a no-kill policy. She also fosters cats until they're ready for adoption. She's highly critical of the no-kill shelter for 2 reasons. First, she says that disease is a major problem there. Second, she says that the only way they maintain their no-kill policy is by refusing to take in animals, which they think they'll have a difficult time placing in homes. She's told me that the net result is that the rejected animals are eventually abandoned, or end up in the shelter for which she works. We have a no-kill shelter about 50 miles from here.
