MAJOR rant inside about people who return my fosters!

That stinks Jen! I'm sorry for those two kitties. At least we know One by One is a great group and I know you guys will find them a good home.

[jennielynn1970]

Well, if they're that jerky, I wouldn't want the 2nd cat staying there anyway.

I'm sorry they're coming back, but at least they will be safe with you. Katie is right, she could have been a total idiot and just dumped them, thrown them out or given them to another idiot. At least they are coming back.

When I adopted out an FIV boy, instead of giving me the kitty back, she took it straight to Animal Control the day after and he was PTS before I even knew what happened. She did not even have to courage or courtesy to call me, she just ignored my calls completely I had to find out VIA internet, and it was to late to even get him body back... AND SHE KNEW I wanted him back NO MATTER WHAT. SO please be thankful that they atleast were "decent" enough not to do that...

I bet they will be adopted out to a better family next time. One that will love them and NOT want them gone after a new addition arrives.

Jen, I definitely hear ya! I can`t stand families who adopt/buy animals, and then 'throw them away' when they get older and "less cute" OR get another animal that the others can`t adjust to. And you`re right, it always seems like people are more willing to get rid of the cats than dogs. If we got a dog here, and my four didn`t adjust well, I would put my effort into rehoming the dog. It`s common sense, my guys have been here and this is their home. Not to mention how tough it must be for the dog, to have to adjust in a home where s/he is clearly not welcomed by their fellow furry housemates! That`s terrible that those people got rid of the kitties, but I`m glad to hear that they`ve been returned and will find a new, better home! Obviously those people didn`t care for the kitties at all, to not even take one of them to the vet or try any of your suggestions. Sad, really.

That is so sad.
I can tell you this for sure (and I know you weren't referring to anyone here), I feel seniority takes priority. If things didn't work out between Paizly and Taz you think I'd get rid of Taz? Heck NO! Or if Zoee didn't get along with her I'd rehome Zoee? NOPE. I even had a back up plan with Cathy in case it didn't work out. But luckily all is well.
As Katie and Jennie said - this is for the best. Those people should go on some kind of do not adopt list though.
Will they be coming back to your house? (hoping for pictures)

[CathyBogart]

How frustrating!! If Charlie and Jasper weren't getting used to each other (They are!!!!) I'd be looking for ways to help them along, not giving little Charlie the boot.

[Freedom]

I sympathize, Jen. The older ones get the boot, and then it is more difficult to place them!

THE SAD THING IS THAT PEOPLE WANT AN ANIMAL TO BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO THEM, AND DOGS HAVE THIS INSTINCT AS THEY ARE PACK ANIMALS AND CATS ARE NOT.
THATS A SHAME THAT THOSE POOR CATS WENT TO THE WRONG PLACE, BUT AT LEAST THEY CALLED YOU, INSTEAD OF DUMPING THEM SOMEPLACE AND SAYING THAT THEY RAN AWAY.
THE ANIMAL WELFARE GETS THAT ONE ALL THE TIME.
