They are auctioning the cat.... doesn't seem like they'll make the highest bidder fill out an application.

My assumptions are based on personal experience because I have been working at and volunteering for shelters for several years. I can't say I've done really anything else at all during the past years besides eat, sleep, and breathe shelter work. Err, well school was in there somewhere too.

All shelters are different. There is one 3 hours from me where all you have to do is hand over the check and the animal is yours.

I hardly think an auction sounds like a good adoption process. I think my assumptions are accurate but if they are not, I will be one HAPPY person.
