Oh this has been going back and forth now for over a month. Apparently her cage tag from where we got her said she was 10yrs old. She's NOT. We had our vet look at her, and he said 3-5 maximum. There was another cat dumped at the kill shelter with her, and they said she was 5yrs, but she's 10-15 (and has a really horrible thyroid condition), and so we think they got them confused.

We even told her, take her to your vet (which you're supposed to within the first 30 days) and have your vet make the call. Did she do that?? NO!!! She just kept going back and forth about how we were "deceptive". We were no such thing!! I even told her that there was no guarantee on her age, but that she is young. She was adamant about getting her vet records from the previous family. We told her, the family just dumped her. Any family that really cares about their pet isn't going to take them to a kill shelter and say "Oh, by the way, here are all of our cat's records, and here is their bowl..." because they love them so much. They took them there to ditch them, and in the back of their minds, they know that the odds of them making it out of the shelter alive is SLIM.

I just don't understand people. It's going to take all of my reserve to go there and be calm and nice and civil when picking her up. I don't lose my cool easily, but this is going to take extra ordinary measures.
