THS rethinks shutting Kitten Nursery

UPDATE: confirmed - Letters to THS volunteers from Bob Hambley says that it is MAY not be cancelled after all:

No final decisions have been made regarding the in-house kitten nursery, staff have made no such recommendation to the Board.
So, at the moment, there is hope - take note THS - Toronto WANTS the kitten nursery at THS - more than anything it exemplifies what the THS purports to care about - caring, compassion and shelter for the most vulnverable of little creatures.  A craiglist blitz yesterday begged people to email, fax, call the THS to have the program reinstated and the public outcry has obviously had impact.

As I mentioned earlier, James at THS has a superlative program in place just for this as it is a project close to his heart.  Even more telling, keep in mind ALL the volunteers who are ready, willing and able to do their 4 hour shifts - over the course of kitten season, that is HUNDREDS of hours and a LOT of people. It would be criminal to ignore the kind of commitment that is exemplified by this program and perfectly illustrates the partnership that can be forged between ordinary toronto animal-lovers and the THS.

FROM craigslist - is this true?
THANK YOU! (11 River St)

Thank you everyone who sent an email or faxed the Toronto Humane Society about the closing of the kitten nursery. The THS has now sent out an email to the volunteers stating that they have decided to review the closure and will leave the decision up to the new board of directors who will be elected on May 30th.

The volunteers at the THS really appreciate your taking the time to help the kittens at the THS. THANK YOU!
