WHAT!!!? Is that true because I gave a cat to the RSPCA back in January and they swore to me the cat wouldn't be put down as he was perfectly healthy after we nursed him back to health...
...that may explain why they refuse to tell me where he is in the system now...
This is often true, the RSPCA like to keep animals for as little time as possible before killing them.
