We had a reporter and photographer come up last week to do an article on the rescue which was placed in the Argus issue dated 15/8/12.
It was arranged by our fundraising manager so we didnt have much input to the finished article.
We were surprised by the headline 'Brighton animal shelter may be forced to put down healthy lost cats' and have contacted the paper about it.
As you know we have a very strict policy which will never change and that is we would NEVER put a healthy cat to sleep!!
The headline although shocking and incorrect, has had a positive response and we have homed 14 cats just this week and more being homed as we write this post.
The paper wanted to help us as we have been inundated with cats being left in boxes on our doorstep, it's been really good as we have rehomed some of our longer staying cats that have been with us over a year.
For those of you who know us we would never mislead the public intentionally, we cant alter the headline that was published but we can clarify it was incorrect but has had a positive outcome for us.
But we still had two more kitties come into us this morning
