Why do animal shelters let you take home terminally ill cats?

Question by fanny gardener: Why do animal shelters let you take home terminally ill cats?
I am getting really worried as I research FIP that my cat has this terminal illness. Should there have been steps taken and information about this cat given to me before he was adopted? I paid for him to be neutered but since he had a cold when I took him home, he could not get the operation, and I was told that he would recover in a few weeks. We payed about $ 80.00 for the cat including the antibiotics and neutering. I am obviously not getting him neutered if he is terminally ill.

I am really just furious and would like my money back. What the heck, I thought I had a healthy cat. We already spent about $ 500 on cat accessories and now we won’t have a cat, not to mention the pain and suffering.

I feel that we were screwed over and not told things…and not to mention the fact that our friends and realtives may give their cats a this disease if they don’t wash their hands – its highly contagious.
