I would think that the preparation/appointment making time, etc., to have these animals euthanized, especially kittens would take MORE TIME than a couple of phone calls or FB posts for HELP.

I'd like to give you more background, and the numbers that were not shared with you yet. Some of the numbers are actually worse if you look at the past 5 years (235 cats average eutherised per year). Though the numbers you do not have impounds (1581 over 5 years) and adoptions (535 over 5 years).
