Quit the job, cat trapping is done, kittens for adoption...

Nothing much to add, I've got no major rants right now and the rescue work as died down a fair bit. The area we were trapping in we think we've caught them all now so thats done. I'm hoping to get involved in another one soon, it reall is alot of fun despite getting tore up.

I've quit my job at River Grove Animal Hospital. And I must advise anyone and everyone should you be looking to change vets or for a vet do not go there. It is not a well run clinic. When we (MHS) used the clinic and left the ferals there to be spayed or to find foster homes we were under the impression things wouldn't be skipped out on, such as food, medical attention and doing the surgeries properly. There was more then one time I had to call Tina and have her bring food for the cats as there was no food to be found for them. The vet didn't seem worried. Two cats died in his care that didn't need to, one had just come from another vet clinic to get spayed, Pico was healthy but too feral so was going back outside she died without reason after her spay. A young kitten died who was bouncing around fine in the carrier, was fine until she was taken there and then I found out she had died and he hadn't told MHS she had, they had a foster home lined up for her and asked me if she was ready to go and I had to tell them she had died the same day that Pico did. He said it was because she had dirrahea. I've mentioned to him some cats downstairs of runny eyes, he didn't go look at them, I took it upon myself to give them the eye cream without his consent because their eyes were looking so bad. I've been told by previous employees that sometimes the animals go for two days without food because he runs out, he skips things during surgeries because he's run out of it, one thing being the drug that numbs the area of the surgery, pain medication. He gets anry and yells and clients when they refuse a treatment after he has given them the option to refuse a treatment such as fluids during surgery and then yells as the employees for letting them do it. He's refused treatment to MHS animals because their foster parent was a former employee of his and he didn't want her to ever come into his clinic again because she quit to start her own business in grooming, making her go to a vet further away and risking the lives of the kittens adn mother cat she had. Two of these kittens have now died. Among other things, this vet is not a good vet, the things I've been told and seen are not made up so I have no fear of him reading this as I know what I saw and what the other employees saw before they got fed up and left. Sooner or later he is going to get in trouble for how he does things, for killing someone's pet. So please, don't go there, don't give him your money. I'm not a disgruntled employee, I'm worried for the sake of the animals that people trust him to make better and care about instead of the money they bring in.

Now that that is said, Wilson and Kutner are up for adoption now, they are up on the MHS website http://www.mississaugahumanesociety.com/ and I would like them to go together. They do have eye infections so even if they are adopted before their infections clear I'd like them to stay here and get treated so they can go to their new homes healthy. There is going to be another kitten adopt-a-thon this weekend at the Petsmart on Mavis and these guys will be there as well I.
