Don't count on it. Millions of cats and kittens are killed in public
shelters every year. Scott County Humane Society, serving Davenport,
Iowa, is a kill shelter and Iowa is one of nine states that REQUIRE
surplus shelter animals be sold to medical institutes for medical
research. Easily handable kittens are among the first to be sold.

Public shelters are dangerous places for all animals. Never surrender
an animal to a public shelter unless you are prepared to redeem the
animal when the mandated holding period for strays is up.
