Exactly. I’m going to take this animal home and love it, it’s going to be part of the family and have as good a life as a cat could ask for. The alternative is the poor thing lives in a cage over your policies and you pout and say “I don’t understand how no one could adopt this cute bastard” with zero clue that they’re part of it.
Like I said I get the sentiment completely but sometimes sentiment doesn’t translate into reality. Ironically my GF’s asshole dog is a half hour away from getting some booster vaccines and being sedated to have it’s nails trimmed so that it can GTFO of here. I’m about to be on the other side of it so maybe it’ll provide me some insight.
This little gal we have, we got from the Tulsa Animal shelter. She’s one helluva character! lol But they did all the shots, nuetered and chipped…$25.00 got her at 5-6 weeks old and she’s as much a part of this family as any lol
just a bit over 2yrs old now
I’ve posted quite a few pics of her lol usually in her favorite spot, on my knee! lol here she is again this morning atm …right where she usually is lol
They have kittens coming out their ears here, that’s about the only way they can home them out. i didn’t know or care what it cost when we went to the shelter to get a ‘mouser’ lol out in the country and mice come in during the winter. She keeps em at bay too!
Here it’s pricey but more so it’s the hoops they want you to jump through. They want personal references, multiple vet references if possible, a home visit before adoption and a follow up visit to see how the cat is doing. I’m waiting to be asked for my fingerprints or a saliva sample!
Being a legit grower, I didn’t mind if they wanted to personally visit as long as they didn’t ask to inspect the damn house lol then I’d have to tell them to GTFO
Well my illegal grow is the first and foremost reason a home visit isn’t happening, but the invasion of privacy factors too. They want to walk through your entire house here.
I’m hoping that adopting from far enough away would discourage them from actually trying but I’m banking on a random “immunodeficiency acquired recently that with the threat of covid means we cannot allow anyone inside” between adoption and them showing up…
