I did it again

Those adoption center cages are not meant to house cats indefinitely. They should be rotated, sent back to foster homes etc. ((yes, I realize that there may not be a foster home to go to, but.....))


I am not completely immune to those centers either. I actually volunteer at the Petsmart adoption center of a DIFFERENT rescue group than 1by1 (because it is so close to me, and they needed help).........WELL! Let me tell you who I want to adopt. it is an orangie male who is Y.Lee #2. Not that bright orange color, but the dull "smudgie" colored orange that makes them look like they rolled in soot. Just my beloved (RB) Y.Lee. and just as big and sweet as him too. But alas, even I can't save them all either.

When I lived in Michigan, I used to torture myself by going to the PetSmart there. I learned from the rescue organization whose cats they house, that the cats aren't there for long periods of time, they shift the cats so they are also in foster homes.

Deb,

Don't feel bad. I do the same thing. Only I go to the Humane Society. SO far I've been a good girl and keep telling myself that I have a hard enough time feeding MYSELF (right now at least) let alone 4 cats. Until I get a place of my own (not sure when that'll be), I've gotta say no. If I hadn't said no from past visits, this apartment would be swarming with cats. No, not really. Actually, me and my furkids would be living out of my car!!

Our local Petsmart rotates its adoption center, so that each rescue group has it for a short time. Hopalong Animal Rescue (Zerlina's fosters) were about to "rotate out" when I adopted her.

And, the last few times I've been in there, they've had no cats in the adoption center. CAREpets, which has its headquarters near my apartment, has its weekly cat adoption fair there on Friday nights.
