They’ve kept tax-payer money via their City Contracts <br />and have failed to provide any services to the public for the last 18 months. <br /> <br />They have created an enormous cat overpopulation explosion by stopping the Return-To-Field program based <br />on misguided information from people fraudulently claiming to represent the OC rescue community and <br />threatening lawsuits. <br /> <br />I have email correspondence from hundreds of OC residents requesting help with stray cats and kittens because <br />the OC Animal Care Center told them there was nothing they could do and to just leave unfixed cats outside <br />enabling them to breed uncontrollably. I brought this to the attention of the Huntington Beach City Council in <br />June of 2020 and nothing was done about it. I can provide email correspondence. <br /> <br />Second Chance Pet Adoptions is, for the first time in 20 years of doing cat rescue in Orange County, unable to <br />help anyone because our financial resources have been depleted due to paying for the services the OC Animal <br />Care Center was supposed to be providing. <br /> <br />Orange County should reimburse Second Chance Pet Adoptions and other rescues for the veterinary care paid <br />for residents whose cities contract with the OC Animal Care Center because it was the responsibility of the <br />County and OC Animal Care Center to help the animals and both failed to do their jobs. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Deanna Shapiro, Board Member <br />Second Chance Pet Adoptions <br /> <br />Please Spay & Neuter Your Pets! <br />2 <br /> <br />
