    On behalf of PTers with law degrees who are practicing or have practiced law, I'd like to point out that it's entirely possible to be both a lawyer and a decent human being.

    I hope nobody seriously entertains the idea that lawyers, by virtue of being lawyers, are not worthy pet parents.

    CID- Oh my gosh! I didn't mean it like that!! I just thought it ironic that this woman, who defends people for AGE DISCRIMINATION is now discriminating against the cat she adopted! It was just the irony of the entire situation.

    We gave her all the info we had, and told her what our vet told us. She knew all of this going into the adoption. That's why I'm just not sure why she's questioning things now, and saying she was being misled, when we would not deceive her because the last thing we want is for a cat to be returned!!

    Sorry if any lawyers/attorneys took it the wrong way, it's the woman, herself, that I have a problem with, and the fact that she does age discrimination cases. It's just hypocrisy.

    I'm sure you'd be as concerned about what is going to happen to Meeko in this case as I am.... if she decides to return her, well... that just doesn't speak very highly of her as a person.

    Oh, I definitely agree that the woman is being a real jerk. She's adopting a rescue kitty, not buying from a breeder. Poor widdle Meeko.

    Maybe Meeko's new parent has got more than one personality inside that head of her's....

    Either way, poor Meeko! What's wrong with that woman?!? Can't she see what a special cat she's got? Meeko may not be a young cat, but she still deserves lots and lots of love and a good home and a proud meowme (or daddy). ALL cats deserve that!

    She hasn't responded to any emails yet. She usually does email later at night though.

    It's just weird. I mean, I know she just got the papers from our shelter since all the adoption paperwork went through on our end. But all of this was explained to her. I told her how they got it wrong. I told her about how they said the other cat was really young, and how she's actually ancient, well, not ancient, but looks it and has major medical issues. It's like they got them backwards. That's what I think happened. A family took them in, they decided they didn't want them, and dumped them. Who cares if the paperwork is wrong, they didn't care, they just ditched the cats.

    Ugh. I hope it doesn't come to her wanting to return her. I mean, I think Meeko (or Lola) will be really happy there. She's queen of her own castle now. That's what she wanted, lol.

    Will have to wait and see what this wacko has to say. I just wonder if she sees the irony in the whole situation when she looks at her job, and then her gripe (which is unfounded).

    It is so frustrating when someone acts like they are "shopping" when adopting a rescue animal. They act like they are going to Dollar Store to pick up something on sale.

    We hope Meeko finds a forever home....but we aren't really excited about this one.

    Neither am I anymore.

    Do you think it should have been expected since she "shows" animals?? She just didn't seem like the "I want a perfect cat" person. I mean, her house made MY house look spotless (and I'm cluttered). I was amazed. I just thought she really sounded pleased with Meeko and she liked that she had spunk. She never said a word about not wanting and adult cat, and I know I specified that Meeko was an adult. If she wanted a kitten, she should have known by the PetFinder profile that she wasn't one.

    I'm just stumped at this point. I don't want her returned, but I don't want this woman to be crappy to her because she isn't "young enough" for her.

    She still hasn't replied by the way...
