The condition Ahimsa Haven left the Poland School

[brassmonkey]

Ahimsa Haven or Winchendon Animal Control was given the basement of the Poland School, a building that the Fire Department uses as a training facility, to use for cats.. Well, the story I was told is that the stench became too much, as the building is boarded up, and ventilation isn't possible, except by leaving the front door propped open.. In addition to that, the boiler is no longer functional for heat, so it was likely very cold down there.. Anyway, the Winchendon Animal Control Officer is instructed to turn away cat calls... We simply didn't have the capacity for them, but some in Ahimsa Haven insist on dealing with cats, and there was some cat haven involved.... So they were provided this place to house and deal with the animals.. I'll admit to not knowing all the details about the dealings, but the building shouldn't have been left in this condition with all this equipment left behind....

This place hasn't been touched in at least the three years that I've been using the building for training, so these pictures show what's been ABANDONED in the basement by somebody, whether it be Ahimsa, Winchendon Animal Control or a cat sanctuary that I was told about but can't recall the name.....

A new grooming table, anyone?



A new Haier compact fridge, anyone? The box is lying nearby....



The laundry? They left a nasty-ass blanket behind...





Now this is how they decided to leave a PUBLIC BUILDING that was DONATED to their use at their asking... No cleaning up after themselves, no removal of their trash and refuse...

Some of the cages are worth money!!!













Have they solicited bowl donations lately?



























If you know any Ahimsa Haveners..... Please tell them to get their shit out of the basement of the Poland school, lest it end up in the trash.. It's been several years now, and it's time to clean out the basement... Contact the Fire Chief and ask for entry into the building for the purpose of cleaning out the property left behind by Ahimsa Haven.. Thank you..

(This post was in no way directed by or connected to the Fire chief. The Fire Department uses the building and has the key.)

I'm not sure if it's property of Ahimsa Haven, Winchendon Animal Control or the cat organization I was told about, but I'd imagine that after three years it must be considered abandoned property and up for grabs! But since it's in a town building, I'd also imagine that Winchendon Animal Control has first dibbs...
