Disturbing Story

**lvpets2002** · 10-11-2005, 11:02 AM

I was in Pets Mart Saturday buying my babies weekly supplys. Of course I have to always view the adoptions & while I was standing there is when this Young Lady approached me & ask if I wanted to adopt a cat or two? I said what & she explained that she had to move & had four cats that needed to be given away. I said well I had six already & you cant just adopt your pets out like this. Then what makes you really

was she laugh & said she had two of the cats for 10 years now & like no big deal.. Well I said how can you do that & why dont you look for another place to move to that will let you keep at least the two oldest ones.. She still smiling states well if I would not take them then she would get Pets Mart to take them & I said that might be best to talk to the manager.. Then I had a talk with the manager about what she told me & for him to let me know when she brings them in.. Oh & get this she had the nerve to state that in a fews years she would come back for them.. WHERE IS THIS PERSON'S BRAINS AT

.. It just got to me & had to tell you all this story & due to it has bothered me all weekend..

lvpets2002,

That is what you call a STUPID, IRRESPONSIBLE PET OWNER!!!

That would've made me angry as well. "Come back for them in a few years"???? Stupid people like that shouldn't HAVE pets.

I'm moving to CT at the end of October and the first thing I did was to try and find a place to stay that would take my 4 cats. It was a very difficult thing to do, but I was fortunate enough to have a friend who rents a 2 bedroom apartment and the landlord didn't have a problem with me bringing my 4 cats with me.

If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't have been as nice as you were.

Can you just imagen how horrible it is going to be for those babies after 10 yrs to be put in a cage & not know why.. Trust me Donna I am going to be there when this girl brings them in & try for at least the two oldest..
Oh I could not even think of not taking my babies with me..

I could never think of leaving mine behind or rehoming my 4 original cats either. They are my children. What kind of got me annoyed was the fact that my VERY best friend from elementary school offered me her pull-out couch in her condo but limited my cats to justs MooShoo, because he doesn't shed. I tried so hard to find people to foster them till I got my own place, but as usual, no one (except for people on this board) wanted any part of it. Thank GOD for Mark!!

I'm still having a very difficult time finding a foster home for Parker. I cannot take her with me because she needs to be with no other cats. Where I'm going, I don't have a spare room where I can put her. I'm working with PurrsAbound to find other Siamese Rescues that may have a foster home available.

BTW, Parker has done so well these past 6 months!! She's put on weight, she's alot more friendly and loves sitting in my lap and purring. She still hates MooShoo's guts though, and the feelings are mutual.

You are a saint for taking in that jerk's 2 older cats. 10 years...

What a jerk!!!

She sounds totally CLUELESS!!! Come back in a few years???!!!! Like if someone goes to Pet Smart and adopts them, paying the fees, feeding them, having them vetted and loving them, in a few years she shows up and they are just going to say "Oh! OK, here are YOUR cats!"????

I DON"T THINK SO!!! A CLUELESS IDIOT!
