The manager I spoke with ignored my concerns and continued with saying there was nothing they could do. I said I wasn’t comfortable with that when I knew that the odds were that they would put her down due to the cost of care. The rescue then refused to do anything to assist with surgery unless I surrendered the kitten back into their care to be seen by two vets before potentially doing the surgery. At first, Halo attempted to manipulate the situation stating that it would be “emotionally taxing” to remove the leg and that they wouldn’t do it for their own pets. A month later, it was clear that the leg was going to need amputation due to the elbow freezing and ongoing pain. When asked about it, they minimized the injury stating it would just potentially lead to arthritis when the kitten was older. Neither myself, as the adopter, nor the Petco staff was informed of this injury. Halo knowingly put a 3 month old kitten up for adoption at Petco with a broken leg.
