Beautiful 9-year-old Sylvia with her long chinchilla color hair

(silver gray) was rescued by the Community Animal Network after her

owner ordered her long-time veterinarian to “put her to sleep.”

Every day veterinarians are presented with this highly

controversial situation and moral decision to take the life of

healthy animals.

Pro-humane animal organizations and city shelters euthanize

animals for sickness, temperament and overcrowding. The term

pro-humane leads the public to believe that these groups are “no

kill,” and they are not.

“The Network” loves it when the mature adult cats get new homes;

last weekend two “senior” cats got new homes. One of the animals had

no upper teeth due to gingivitis and the other had been found half

starved living under a car in an apartment car port before rescue.

Newport Beach Animal Control Officer Jayme Rogers said, “You guys

at Fashion Island get homes for all the animals we would have had to

euthanize.”

Our “network” believes everyone has the right to find a home they

are happy in. We help as many animals as we can. Life-saving

donations and volunteers are always needed.

The Community Animal Network is a community-supported animal

organization linking people and pets through community action. See
