hobbs wrote: Neat story indeed! I'm crying my eyes out, I'd like to know WHY they couldn't respond, Because it was Fulton County Animal Control. In other words, a "gummit" operation like the DMV. The people who answer the phone get instructions to tell people that they won't come out if the animal isn't injured, and that's all they know and all they want to know till they get into their sprinter's stance at 4:59 to get ready to run out the door at 5:00 and not one minute after. Ask someone if this could be an exception? You've gotta be kidding-that would take a brain and common sense. There's actually more. The first caller told someone else, who tried to call in later and claim that the kitty was hurt, but the Einsteins answering the phone at Animal Control wouldn't be fooled and told the second caller that they knew the cat was unhurt so no one from Animal Control was going out to get the cat. On the other hand, three policemen halted traffic on the interstate so the woman who originally called could come by and pick up the poor kitty. Kudos to them. |

There certainly are some wonderful people around, hurray for all the *good*
people involved in this heartwarming story. Jean.P. Robert Cohen wrote in message oups.com... Here's something additional I just recalled: The Atlanta newspaper article--I now recall--also said that a couple of (freight shipping?) employees of Delta Airlines paid for the cat-in-cage flight to Colorado. |
