The thing is how do you decide how many pets is unacceptable ? How can a shelter make that decision ?

For Example. Jen has 13 cats & mices !!! That is no problem for her but it would too many for me ? Think of the litter trays......

Jen...Sorry to use you as an example but you have loads of great pets.

I wouldn't like a shelter to turn to me and say. You have three cats, we don't think you could look after a fourth.

Surely we have to decide for ourselves, how many pets we need and can look after.

Also if the shelter start restricting adoption, won't that lead to more pets in Kill shelters, as the non-kill shelters will fill up fast.
