[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If someone surrenders a pet to a shelter and the shelter subsequently puts the pet down, do they notify the person who surrendered the animal? How does that go? Do you get a postcard in the mail telling you, "Hey remember that animal you tried to rehome? We just gassed it."[/quote]

In DC they don't.  They just ask a couple of question about the nature of the animal and determine based on the age and the temperament the likelihood of the animal being re-homed.  If the animal has issues, it's killed pretty quickly.[/quote]

That was my understanding of what typically happened, which is why I'm wondering how it is OP's mom was able to tell OP that the cat was dead instead of rehomed. And further, it makes "my sister killed me cat" excessively dramatic, even if the rest of OP's story is true.[/quote]

If you call the shelter, they will tell you how long death row wait is depending on how full they are. Some times it's 24 hours. Adult cats are not 'popular' for adoption unless they are special in appearance. People want kittens.[/quote]
