It seems kind of shady to me that they require vetrinary care from a particular vet. Most rescues I know are HAPPY that people take thier animals to a vet on a regular basis, so long as the vet hasn't been reported as being neglegent. It also seems kind of wierd that they require spaying and nutering so early...what is the time period they give? I was told by my vet that the kitty had to be at least 6 months old...is this true (anyone?)

And last time I checked, once a dicision to allow a person to adopt is made, the shelter or rescue can't just swoop in and take the pet unless it is under abuse. Is this the case in some places? I know that thats the case here...and to prevent abuse a lot of shelters here do a lot of background checking and that I can understand.

I sure feel bad for the pets stuck in this shelter! Hopefully the red tape won't prevent animals from going into good homes.
