Why oh why did I go to PetSmart?

It breaks my heart to see older cats be passed over. I know exactly how you feel, Mary.

I've been a bucket of tears since losing Mollie Rose and those 2 precious 4 day old babies.

I've got a friend in rescue who has five 8 week old kittens, 3 torties. She's trying to convince me to take one of the torties. Right now I don't think I can take in another cat. And if I did, it would be a senior, definitely a senior.

My nerves are way to raw to think about another mouth to feed. I definitely understand where you're coming from Mary. That's why I don't go to the Humane Society. It's too heartbreaking.

Same story here--even the same reason for visiting Petsmart (fountain filters).

There were quite a few kittens in the adoption area (including a pair of crazy orangies who were engaged in a bout of wrestlemania). But the handsome adult tuxie in the corner cage who never took his eyes off me, that's the one it really hurt to leave behind. Sadly, adopting another wouldn't be the right move financially or otherwise just now.

Mary!! I know exactly how you are feeling!!! Instead, I make a donation OR sponsor a cat. I sponsor Hootz at Tabby's Place....I cannot adopt her, but at least I am helping a bit....

I still shop at PetsMart, but only on certain days. Dog adoption groups
show their dogs on Saturdays so I hate to go then. I really have been
tempted, so I don't go then unless it's an emergency. I love seeing the
kitties too, but I'm responsible for far to many already.

I like to shop at PetsMart to show my support for their helping animal rescue
groups.

Yup, been in the same boat, Mary. I can't look, not at adoption places, not on craiglist, no way no how. It hurts too much, realizing how huge the homeless animal issue is. (sorry, bad grammar)

Yeah that is kinda how I feel, also why I would love to do fostering so much. I would feel like I'm offering room that shelter may not be able to offer. I know how that pull on your heart string when you want to say yes to them but you know you just can't for some reason are another but it hurts that you can't have a win win situation.
