Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2008Star - they didn't show up to adopt him :-(
Oh oh - they didn't show up to adopt him after all. She said that that's pretty common. I hope they just couldn't make it last night for some reason but will show today? Purrs purrs purrs for little Star. Susan M Otis and Chester > Oh oh - they didn't show up to adopt him after all. She said that > that's pretty common.

Well, maybe they couldn't come for a good reason, but they could have phoned to say so, couldn't they? I hope better slaves come along soon. If they promise to adopt him and then don't show up that is not the home for him. They need to really want him and if they truly do they will move the earth to get him.

I would be having second thoughts about them taking Star now or at least make sure they had a good reason for not showing up or calling. It seems if they really wanted Star they would have at least called!! >>> Oh oh - they didn't show up to adopt him after all. She said that >>> that's pretty common.

Yep. >> Oh oh - they didn't show up to adopt him after all. She said that that's >> pretty common. I hope they just couldn't make it last night for some [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Tweed That's my reaction, too. It would need to be a "good excuse" on the order of a true *emergency* before I would want to let people adopt who failed to show up and didn't even bother to phone. When I made arrangements to adopt Duffy, I could hardly wait for the day to arrive when I could get him (there was a three-day waiting period for reference checks and vetting), and I headed for the shelter *the instant* my classes ended for the day because I didn't want to take any chance that I would be delayed past their closing time.

I know - I remember the breathless anticipation of going to pick up each of my boys. Desperate not to be late and to be there right on time. I was thinking maybe they had some kind of emergency ... but that's not very nice either. Poor boy - I feel super responsible for him - sure, I've taken him out of a cold snap - but into a kill shelter since the no-kills were full. I also have 2 cats and allergic 7 year old. 3 could be the tipping point for having to rehome all three. Susan M Otis and Chester could you try and get him into a no kill shelter if his day gets close, I mean pay the fee and move him, Lee > > That's my reaction, too.

We can't let Star be killed. I'd be happy to help out with his fee, if it comes to that. Perhaps other members of the group could help out, too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

I don't know how many have this but our city pound has "sponsored" cats" you pay their fees and that guarantees they aren't PTS, Lee > >> could you try and get him into a no kill shelter if his day gets close, I > >> mean pay the fee and move him, Lee [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Susan M > Otis and Chester You know that sounds good and is good for the sponsored cat and it is good that people are willing to do that but you have to remember that it keeps the sponsored cat alive BUT another one most likely will take his place on "death row". If they only have room for say, for the sake of discussion, ten cats and ten people sponsor cats what do you think will happen to the next ten that come in or are already there? >another option...

If they DON'T litterbox offerings to them, and purrs offered that better slaves will come to give Star his true forever home. Melissa >Oh oh - they didn't show up to adopt him after all. She said that >that's pretty common. I hope they just couldn't make it last night for >some reason but will show today? > >Purrs purrs purrs for little Star. Don't worry, Susan. He sounds like he's adapting well, and kitten season won't be for ages, so he'll be the cutest one there for a long time. I remember when I first met Betty at the shelter, you said that I had to go back and adopt her! But I hesitated. My first kitty! Would I know what to do, how to care for her? But I did eventually go back and get her. Maybe they're just being like I was back then. :) > Oh oh - they didn't show up to adopt him after all. She said that that's > pretty common.

Better they go home and have second thoughts than that they take him and have second thoughts. Its the kind on mentality that dumps pets because they can't face anyone to admit they made a bad choice. So while the purr machine is still going, I think it won this round.
