Poor Litkat was killed, Twiggy/.Snow White might be on her way, the many others...

It is truly devastating, this bright light that makes this horrific world a much sweeter place, becomes a light extinguished by a misdiagnoses or an inability to rehome an animal.
This is all over the world, millions killed in US alone at city shelters.
I am thinking of sweet little Patsy, Princess, Valentine, Blueberry, it is endless. The planet is left with a void of the places they once filled.
Litkat was a 6 year old female dumped by her guardian, blue-grey, a bit overweight, patient and loving.
She had a pouch that almost felt like a fluid pouch after administering sub-q fluids that flopped around her underarm. It felt nothing like cancer, soft and mushy, very gelatinous. She was not put up for adoption for this by the shelter, was declined by SPCA for this and also declined by a bay area rescue. THIS IS FAT DISCRIMINATION FOR CATS. As she wasn't diabetic, didn't have heart issues, but this gushy mass was a probable lipoma. She patiently waited in a cage for 1 month, was never sent to the available rooms but as the shelter tried to see what they could do.  In the end she was killed and placed in the heap of carcasses in a steel barrel in a freezer.
Litkat would run to the front of her tiny cage to shower you with affection and love and although due to the scores of other animals to attend to, i couldnt spent much time with her, she never complained when i shut the cage door but just very acceptingly went back to lie down on her flimsy towel.
People know not what they do. The masses are ignorant to the suffering that they cause. If the owner knew her fate, would she still have dumped her or is the owner under one of the biggest misconceptions in San Francisco that we are a no-kill city? WRONG! SPCA also puts animals to sleep...

Twiggy, whom I call Snow White, a little one year old, Siamese cross, sweeter than cherry pie, makes muffins all day long when you visit her was first thought to have scabies, then an allergy, now a genetic disorder will most likely be offed in two weeks. She has not responded to treatment and it has been several months so they are now considering killing her.
She is warm the touch and itchy quite frequently but never once was the corn fed crap of Purina ever addressed as to how this shit diet exacerbates her issues.
She sheds like snow, which is why i call her Snow White and is believed by SFVS to have a genetic skin disorder that does not allow her to produce skin. She is being pumped with steroids, ivermectin (for what, i dont know) and NOT ONCE has diet, EFA's supplements or nutrition ever been discussed.
I have offered my allergy experience information to Dr Scarlett with no answer. I have also offered vets names that have experience with cases unsolved by the stodgy traditional, callous medical paradigm.
It is yet to be seen if the world will succumb to a dismal shade of depressing grey, a black hole or void, where her bright little spirit shone on the earth. she has two weeks, then they assess killing her.
