Went to Karuna to adopt a kitten. The reception area looked nice enough and the boards nailed on thier walls were very impressive with the amount of donations they were receiving. When we were directed to the backside of the reception we saw the deplorable conditions of the kennels and the cattery. The stench of the place was a clear indicator how this shelter cared for the animals it housed. There were many kittens whose eyes were shut with infection and they were housed in the same cage as other kittens. All the kittens are not taken care of- it is very much survival of the fittest there. We spotted a litter that was kept in one cage and my husband found one of the kittens was not moving. He asked the carer/helper and the guy just picked the kitten, told us it was sick and proceeded to dump the kitten in the corner of the cage??? It just showed us that all the staff do there is place the food in the cages. They provide no affection, no medicines. We were disgusted with everything but decided to save atleast one of the kittens there. As soon as we brought our kitty home, he vomited and his poop was filled with worms. We went to the vet and they gave him deworming meds. But soon after that his temperature fell below average and was in critical condition. He is still being taken care of in the hospital and we' be been told that even though the medicine expelled all the worms, the toxins that they've left has put him in this dangerous situation. I hope people for animal rights close this shelter down because it doesn't live up to it's name of being a shelter. I seriously have no idea where the money from those donations go to.
