Another NYC AC&C Horror Uncovered

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Moon, Rita and Alter Ego are not related, but they share one very tragic thing in common. All 3 arrived at the NYC AC&C pregnant, and all 3 had their unborn kittens removed from their wombs and killed. Moon, is now on the list to destroyed May 16, 2015, while Rita and Alter Ego are sitting at the AC&C, stressed, in pain, and in danger of getting sick and hitting that dreaded list too.

ACC has been spay aborting more and more, and it has not gone un-noticed.

After going through the trouble of spaying these poor cats (and dogs,) and killing their unborn babies, the very least NYC AC&C could do is find them placement. What a waste, and a horrific thing to do … to put a living being through all that and then kill them anyway.

Urgent Pets On Death Row is starting a new campaign to highlight every single animal that comes in unspayed (or noted as being pregnant) and is then “mysteriously” spayed at the shelter.

People need to know what is going on there. This is our first post, but sadly we are already working on our second. When will someone step in and put the “CARE” back in ANIMAL care & CONTROL?

I am sure the “powers that be” would love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out to them here: http://accn.convio.net/contactus – Put an end to the senseless killing in NYC.

  7. the fact that they will be serving food and drinks while they discuss this gruesome procedure proves they have no heart 🙁

  8. The ASPCA and the Mayor’s Alliance are teaching more people how to gut pregnant cats whose kittens are so close to being born that they would survive the gutting. Euphemistically referred to as “late term spay”, this horrific practice inflicts violence on both the mother cat and her unborn babies. Once cut out of the mama cat’s belly, each kitten helplessly crawls around until someone kills her. Mama is sewn up and, if she survives the risky procedure, is left to grieve for her kittens whom she knew were alive inside her when the ASPCA vet gave her an injection and are now inexplicably, heartbreakingly gone. So much for that prevention of cruelty to animals thing.
    And all this needless killing can be kept off the shelter’s books since the kittens are not counted as intakes – only the mama cat. So the shelter’s live release rate can be touted as an achievement even as it masks the killing of kittens deemed so valueless by the shelter they were never even counted as being alive, despite the fact that they most definitely were.

  10. We just took a cat from the AC&C that they insisted she be spayed before she came to our rescue . I begged them not to spay her – to let her come to our shelter and we would care for her and her babies. They adamantly refused to let us rescue her unspayed- she was a full term pregnancy.
    Cookie Dough has been suffering since. She has taken to loving other kittens in the center and actually went to a foster last night with a set of kittens but she has no milk even though she lays on her side and tries to give the babies her warm body. It’s absolutely the saddest thing I have had to witness

  11. She wants nothing more then to love the babies, clean them, put her body around them- keep them warm. I wish they would stop this barbaric policy and let these poor animals come to rescue intact if indeed they are going to deliver their young shortly.

  12. This is horrible & completely unacceptable… how can they be soo cruel?? I tried to post comment & couldn’t do so unless I had membership with livefyre… is there someone else to do this??

  14. OMG 🙁 Monsters, evil, cruel, barbaric, sickening SCUM ! I am heartbroken for youre precious kitty and for you, this is beyond my comprehension !!!!!

  15. Same has happened to pregnant cat Happy Homes pulled. We also begged them not to spay/abort, and we would gladly take care of the kittens. They spay/aborted anyway.

  16. When I first started fostering cats pulled from the list I said I would take pregnant moms and was told that the ACC doesn’t let them leave the shelter pregnant.  It’s completely disgusting to spay/abort and then put the mom on the kill list anyway

  17. I didn’t know the NYACC was doing this! They are horrible uncompassionate cruel people! And the Director/Manager is ten times worse since it was probably their idea to do this and keep their euth numbers low to make them look like their Shelter is successful in getting their Cats adopted! I’m outraged! I live on the West Coast and are not familiarized with the East Coast Media, Support groups but let me know how I can help!
    In the mean time, let’s help get the Mommy Kitty who is on Deathrow, saved and out of there!

  19. THAT is what they do with all the money that they receive to care for the animals. Instead of taking care of them, they spay abort and Murder these precious lives. I can’t comprehend how a city with such vast resources as New York has to reserve it was such a sadistic, evil, unconscionable methods.

  21. I have emailed them and explained that it seems such senseless behaviour. I am from the UK and to be honest, the reputation of NYC ACC is growing well beyond NYC!

  29. Thank you for writing about this. I saw it commented on and done several times. . .didn’t even know shelters did this. . . only one of many horrors!

  31. And a waste of taxpayers money paying the vets to do this- unless even more HORROr –THEY DO IT THEMSELVES EVEN THOUGH UNQUALIFIED TO DO SO.

  34. This happened to a cat that was rescued by the no kill shelter where I volunteer.. Even though we had the facility to care for mother and newborns they aborted her before they let us take her..disgusting individuals in that place

  36. Look at the case of shyanne- a cane corso- came in very obviously pregnant- they should have sent out an alert immediately- NO she gave birth TO what they claim ONE baby- -they waited another 2 days allowed that poor mama and baby to lay there- end result? Baby developed pneumonia at 10 days old was dead- she was owner surrender- my point had an alert went out immediately perhaps the baby would have lived- were there more babies? We will never know U0001f623
