Thanks everyone! Yes, this is definitely a bad situation to be in. She's my friend, but she has so many problems. I felt a little guilty because oddly enough, my friend called me yesterday afternoon to find out if I had been contacted about being a reference. I said that someone had left me a message (which is true) and that I hadn't had time to call back yet (which is technically true).

I'm still a little scared that she'll find out it was me that gave a negative reference...even though it wasn't actually me!
Apparently she gave the name of another friend of hers, which gave a positive reference and she also gave another name.

Hopefully this place will think to tell her that the cat was already adopted, or doesn't get along well with dogs and other cats etc.

ratchet22, it's so hard to have a friend like that isn't it? They may have their hearts in the right place, but there's no way that it's a good match.
My friend and animals just don't mix. What's scary is that I think my friend thinks that she's helping animals...even though she's had 20 taken away from her in the past...and countless kittens have died in her care.
I just can't believe she can justify getting more animals after the previous situation. Kelly is right...I'm a little alarmed that there isn't a way of keeping track of people who have had animals confiscated. Although, she does have a different last name now then she did when the animals were taken away. It's probably hard to track, and she'd probably blame the guy she was living with at the time anyway
