WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (AP) - A stray cat that survived two trips to a Utah animal shelter's gas chamber now has a new home. Officials at West Valley City's animal shelter in Utah say the cat named Andrea hadn't been adopted for 30 days when shelter officials tried to put her to death in October. She survived, so they gassed her again. Shelter officials detected no vital signs and presumed she was dead after the second try, so they put her in a plastic bag in a cooler. But when they checked the bag, they saw she had vomited on herself and had hypothermia but was alive. The shelter then decided to stop trying to kill her. hereThat is one tough and lucky kitty!

There have been a couple of jobs open at our local Animal Control. I've thought of applying, but I don't think I could do it. My husband works with a man whose wife works there. He said they actually bring counselors in occasionally to talk with the employees because of the trauma of euthanizing so many animals.
I'm glad this kitty made it.

There's no way I could work in a place like that. I struggle 'daily' with depression as it is. I like a good ending story,..but think of the trauma the kitty went through before being saved.

That kitty truly did have 9 lives - let's hope the other 7 are good ones, that poor baby truly deserves it!
