Cat Forum / General Topics / November 2003Local Humane Society
Give me a break! This past week we decided to add to our feline family.We went to our local Humane Society and found a kitten that we thought would be a nice addition to our family. Filled out the application and faxed it in. Our Vet had vouched for us and we figured it was a sure thing. I went yesterday to inquire about our application. WE were denied. WHY you ask! Because we let our cats outside for (1) hour a day. From the time my husband gets home from work to the time I get home and sometimes it's not even an hour. What a crock! These people would rather kill these cats than adopt them out to someone who lets them go outside. I for one have lost all respect for our local humane society. I was going to adopt a cage and start donating money to their cause but now I am looking for other options. No need to reply - just wanted to vent.

I think they have all the right in the world to deny people who don't meet their criteria. If they have enough adopters that do fulfill their criteria, then there is no problem.

And they need to keep their crappy opinions to themselves and give the animals away. > Victor Martinez <me@nospam.com> wrote in news:bE8ob.6943$D87.4631 > @twister.austin.rr.com: [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > But they do take it.

They have the best interests of the animals as their main interest, not making someone, who doesn't care about the best interest of the animals, happy >> But they do take it.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > interest, not making someone, who doesn't care about the best interest > of the animals, happy Um, I think so, and as long as they try take public money, I will attempt to oppose it. ugh ! we got turned down too, we just moved here, and the local shelter found out we took our pets to the shelter where we used to live (we did'nt lie on the app.) , we could'nt find ANY1 to take our animals (2 dogs,2 cats) b4 the move,what the HECK were we supposed to do,we moved to a place where they did'nt allow pets. D ps. but we went to the Humane Soc. here, picked out a cat & took her home, all in the same day ! > Give me a break! > This past week we decided to add to our feline family.We went to our local [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > No need to reply - just wanted to vent. > Kris > ugh ! we got turned down too, we just moved here, and the local > shelter found out we took our pets to the shelter where we used to [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> No need to reply - just wanted to vent. >> Kris You gotta be kidding me! They thought you were a bad gaurdian because the cats were allowed outside??? If I don't let Squeek out he goes NUTS! Bonnie doesnt care to go out much, she was dumped and adopted us three weeks after we moved here. > > ugh ! we got turned down too, we just moved here, and the local > > shelter found out we took our pets to the shelter where we used to [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > If I don't let Squeek out he goes NUTS!

Our main rehoming charity, Cats Protection (www.cats.org.uk), would probably be reluctant to home a cat that *didn't* have access to a garden..! When I adopted my Missy last December, the first thing the person who called to vet me wanted to see was the garden..! They also have a strict "no kill" policy; except where a cat is seriously ill and a vet advises otherwise, a cat in their care is *never* destroyed. Ivor > You gotta be kidding me!

One of my cats is named Squeak (Squeaky Pete)also and my sister has a cat named Bonnie (and Clyde). Just curious. Why is yours named Squeak? I raised mine from a newborn and she never made a sound until she was about 2. She's all black and before that she was called Shadow. When she finally "spoke", it was such a high pitched sound that really looked like it was a strain for her to make. She was immediately re-named. >> You gotta be kidding me!

She was immediately re-named. Squeak got his name because thats all he does. He's a talker. Bonnie yells at me to get my attention but Squeaker just constantly talks. Reminds me of my ex wife.LOL Talks alot with nothing to say. > Give me a break! > This past week we decided to add to our feline family.We went to our [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > I was going to adopt a cage and start donating money to their cause > but now I am looking for other options.

They adopt from shelters and I doubt they have such rules. I agree with you. Adam |
