I decided to start this thread after going through Petfinder.com to show you what kinds of REASONS people give up their animals. I'm sure if I took my blood pressure right now, it'd be through the roof.

"She was given up by her owner because she had too many kittens"

This little "ditty" is of Inkspot, the beautiful long haired black cat I am head over heals in love with. She was adopted back in March, but returned because...

"because her owner didn't have enough time to take care of her"

UGH!!!!!

Here's another one...

"She was brought to us along with her mother (Mama Cat) because her owner had to move and the new place has a dog"

So get rid of the damn dog!!!!!

"My buddy, Larry, and I were brought to the shelter because our owner could no longer care for us."


Right now I am literally SICK to my stomach. I don't even know why I bother going into Petfinder.com, it depresses me so much.

So the BIG question here is why do people get pets and then give them up because they have a baby, don't have time for them anymore, are moving where they don't allow pets???

I just don't understand it.
