Person adopts kitten from shelter later returns it saying it "got big"
True story. A person adopted a kitten from the local Humane Society
but later returned it saying they didn't want it anymore since it got "big". Well hello!! Little kittens are awfully cute that is for sure but they do grow into adult cats, they don't stay kittens forever. What a world. |

Not an unusual story. We heard one kid in the store say that he only liked
little kittens. He and his mom were in looking to adopt one. Needless to say they didn't get one from us. "stonej" wrote in message oups.com... True story.

They had several three week old kittens. Very cute. They said a family had come in earlier looking for young kittens but rejected the three week old kittens as not young enough! Strange... Gail F.

If someone is adopting out 3 weeks old kittens they should be checked out themselves. 3 weeks is too young to be putting kittens up for adoption. |

My comment to the shelter staff was: "What, where they looking for python food?" Which was probably not a nice thing to say, but realistic. Gail F. |

If someone is adopting out 3 weeks old kittens they should be checked out themselves. 3 weeks is too young to be putting kittens up for adoption. Let me clarify: The shelter wasn't adopting out those kittens because they were too young. The shelter personnel recounted the story because they were as dumbfounded as I was that someone would want kittens even younger. Having said that, however, many humane societies around where I live function without facilities, and instead use foster homes. So "adopting out" even young kittens to a home where they know the kittens will be properly cared for is sometimes the only way the kittens will survive. Gail F.

Yes, and young cats eventually become elderly cats (at least, we hope so). People should carefully consider whether they can and will take care of all the needs of their furbabies as they age. The shelter I adopted Duffy from had some specific questions on the adoption questionnaire asking how I would care from him if he became sick and as he aged. I think that's commendable! Some people resent what they see as "intrusive" questions, but I think they are an absolute necessity. MaryL |
