The Pepperell Cat Shelter is NOT closing.The email posted is a viral hoax! My oldest daughter has been a volunteer there for the past 11 years (and a very close friend of the founder, who passed away last month). All the volunteers are still working there and the state is helping with a illness issue with some of the cats, but NO healthy cats are being euthanized. It is the shelter's goal to continue to adopt cats out, was founded as a no-kill shelter and will continue to be a no-kill shelter. The only cats that were euthanized were some very ill FIV or FELv positive cats that were on their last legs (only 6). The "daughter" actually gets a kick out of the "daughter" bit. This is the current president of the shelter, and the founder's best friend. She is in her late 50s ! Feel free to spread the word that it IS NOT CLOSING!!
